Pickaxe book from the Pragmatic Programmers is the canonical
reference, Why's guide is very fun. But if you want something easy and
you're coming from a nontechnical perspective, google for Amy Hoy and
Rails, she has some stuff which speaks the language of designers (if
that's where you're coming from) and generally brings technical
understanding without overly technical focus/emphasis.
