I believe that you can get the “Agile Web D. with Rails” book
as en e-book. That is a great book for beginners. Are you looking
specifically for tutorials or do you need the basics too?

I have found this book to be useful when I started learning.
It teaches you different important concepts like authentication, test
driven
development (rspec), which you
will use in your everyday apps:

"Learn to Program (2nd edition)

by Chris P.

For this new edition of the best-selling Learn to Program, Chris P.
has taken a good thing and made it even better. First, he used the
feedback from hundreds of reader e-mails to update the content and
make it even clearer. Second, he updated the examples in the book to
use the latest stable version of Ruby, and also to use code that looks
more like real-world Ruby code, so that people who have just learned
to program will be more familiar with common Ruby techniques.

Not only does the Second Edition now include answers to all of the
exercises, it includes them twice. First youll find the how you
could do it answers, using the techniques youve learned up to that
point in the book. Next youll see how Chris P. would do it:
answers using more advanced Ruby techniques, to whet your appetite as
well as providing sort of a Rosetta Stone for more elegant
solutions.

Here are a couple of resources for learning ruby and ROR.

http://tryruby.org/ for a basic intro to ruby

http://railsforzombies.org/ for Rails

I also have used the rails tutorial that Rails Rider mentioned

Take a look at http://railscasts.com/ for more in depth Rails topics.

Not sure where you are located, but sometimes libraries have good books
on
Ruby and some even have ebooks that you can check out.

I basically understand and have done a little with php/mysql but don’t
know
anything about MVC or Ruby or CoC like that. Can you suggest me any good
free ebook that would be suitable for beginners like me?
