There's a short section / appendix at the back of the Agile Web Dev  
book that has an introduction to Ruby.  It will probably be a good  
enough introduction for you, although if you plan to get heavily into  
Rails, you'll probably want the Ruby "Pickaxe" book as well.  I refer  
to my copy of it all the time at work.

The first edition of the Pickaxe is available online for free, covers  
Ruby 1.6.  The second edition covers Ruby 1.8  http://
