I started from that situation also. I worked through the book Agile Web  
Development with Rails, which starts from the assumption that you know  
nothing about either, and found that an excellent introduction. If you  
do  
this make sure you get the 3rd edition which uses the current version of  
Rails.

From my point of view, you should know a little about Ruby code, is  
better to resolve some situations where you need do pure Ruby code  
inside a Rails application, so you can do a good quality of code.  
Here you have the link to the ruby documentation at  
[RDoc Documentation](http://ruby-doc.org/core/) and of course you should read some book,  
this will be an advantage to resolve quickly your doubts.

Another good link here at [http://rubyquiz.com/](http://rubyquiz.com/).

Good luck, Cesar

[lynda.com](http://lynda.com) has a good tutorial on RoR, its old but a good place to  
start with.  
Then you can continue with [tutorialspoint.com](http://tutorialspoint.com)

The Agile Web D. with Rails book has an appendix covering  
some Ruby basics, which should be enough to get the OP started.

Also, you might like to try this quick tutorial - only takes 15 mins  
and runs in your browser 🙂

Enjoy!
