For Ruby on Rails questions (including how to do AJAX stuff with it, I  
recommend the fabulous Ruby on Rails mailing list/group, accessible from  
multiple locations:  
[http://ruby-forum.com/forum/3](http://ruby-forum.com/forum/3)  
[http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk)

Also, Agile Web D. with Rails (also by Pragmatic Programmers)  
is pretty good.
