The Little Book of Ruby:
http://www.sapphiresteel.com/IMG/pdf/LittleBookOfRuby.pdf

It explains the complete basics. Assumes little on the part of the
user. You will quickly exhaust its usefulness, but as a bootstrap
guide for beginners its invaluable.

You can then wean yourself onto quick references like this:

And you should have enough foundation level stuff to make your
own programs, or follow the examples and content in some of
the main books.
