1)If you feel like you need a tutorial on ruby
and general comp-sci concepts, start with
"Teach Yourself Ruby In 21 Days".
It's a very good book. Dont let the SAMS 21 days
thing scare you off.

2)Obtain a copy of "Programming Ruby".
I would suggest using the digital version now
and pick up the dead tree version of the second edition
when it comes out.
