If I were you I'd get to grips with ruby alone first, then apply what you know to rails

A really good in-browser introduction to ruby:
http://tryruby.hobix.com/

These are a little longer and have more depth:
http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/
http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/
And of course Why's poignant guide : http://poignantguide.net/ruby/chapter-3.html

There are 5 or 6 rails tutorials plus some other info here:
http://rubyonrails.com/docs

You can have a look at my Ruby Study Notes, the way I learned Ruby. This only covers Ruby and does not cover Ruby on Rails.

I also have a Ruby Tutorial created for beginner programmers. It should be finished by mid june.
