production api question for Enterprise

i recently downloaed the developer api.  it's a great learning tool, but i'm curious how does it differ from the production api that come with 'Enterprise'?

The developer api is the same as the production (enterprise) api, the WSDL may differ as you add custom objects to your environments, but the methods are the same

There is only 1 API.  You have 2 ways of connecting to it via 2 different WSDLs. 

The "Enterprise" WSDL is detailed and specific to whatever Org you generate it from.  It contains all the object info you need to access the objects and fields in the Org. 

The "Partner" WSDL is basic and can be used against any Org.  With it, you either need to just know the schema or perform describeSObjects calls to obtain it.
