I think you'll find this guide:  

http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/

a good and short introduction to Ruby and programming in general.

I have only made good experiences with this forum. People are very
helpful. Just go ahead ... maybe post some (simplified ) code to 
explain what you want to know. You'll get competent help, almost
surely :)
On occasions, you might be redirected to special mailing lists for
individual Ruby-related projects ... but here's a good start to ask
a question anyway. 

Happy hacking !

Best regards,

Axel
