If you have a business need for this, then the investment in a good book  
will repay itself hugely. I have the [pragprog.com](http://pragprog.com) one (Agile Web  
Development with Rails), which I found to be excellent, although I have  
the 2nd edition for rails 1.6. It is being updated, and I think you can  
buy the beta PDF online already.

[www.railscasts.com](http://www.railscasts.com) is also well worth a look.
