I am a newbie. I want to know how Ruby is different from Java. When to
use Ruby and what are the advantages? Is it focused entirely on Web?
Visit http://www.ruby-lang,org. There’s lots of info there on how it
compares to other languages.
It’s a dynamic language with many uses. Ruby on Rails, a framework
written
in the Ruby language, is designed for the web. Ruby itself can be used
for
many things, including web, automation, shell scripting, and more.
Ruby is to Java as Rails is to Spring+Hibernate (I’m oversimplifying
here
to get the point across.)

There’s this site called google.com and if you typed your subject in
the query textfield all of your questions would have been answered

Get your hands dirty and try for yourself.
Its the best way to find out.
There are several free books available on the web. Programming Ruby 1st
edition is one of them.
They are just tools
Above all try to have fun using them
