Pragmatic programmers books can’t steer you wrong:  
Programming Ruby (for studying the base language)  
Agile Web D. with Rails (for studying the framework)

Both great books.

Learn Ruby before coding in Ruby on Rails. Ruby for Rails by David  
Black is a good book that teaches enough Ruby to get started.

There’s a whole bunch of free tutorials (and list of free tutorials) out  
there you can find with google - I’ve compiled a list of my own[1],  
hopefully it helps.

I have just started a new RoR site and podcast called Rubyology  
([www.rubyology.com](http://www.rubyology.com)). It consists of my lessons learned from  
transitioning from Microsoft ASP/.NET to Ruby on Rails. I hope to  
help people bridge the learning curve and become productive quickly.
