Hi Waleed,

I recommend picking up a copy of the “Agile web development with  
rails” book. ([http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails/](http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/title/rails/)). The  
first part of this book takes you step by step to create a shopping  
cart application and then further explains how rails works.

You can get a pdf version if sending the book or picking it up at your  
local bookstore is a problem.

Good luck,  
Brian
