I would say the best online book to go for is "The Little Book of Ruby"
and it's free. ( : Just to get you going. Then invest in Pickaxe
(Pragmatic Programmer's, "Programming Ruby")

Subject: Recommendation for a beginner's ruby book/tutorial

For someone who knows very little programming, what is the best book to
get for programming Ruby?  She was way too intimidated by the pick axe
book.
I'm thinking one of these two:

Teach yourself ruby in 21 days
http://www.samspublishing.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0672322528&rl=1

Learn to program
http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_ltp/index.html

Are there any good online tutorials for this task?
