Sounds like one of my eBooks might be right for you. They are both free 
and both come with huge numbers of small demo programs. There's The 
Little Book Of Ruby - this covers all the fundamentals in 10 chapters, 
with every example provided as ready-to-run code:

And there's The Book Of Ruby which is very much more 'in depth'. 
Eventually The Book Of Ruby will have over 400 pages and 20 chapters. 
I'm building towards this with regular updates as each chapter is 
revised and added. Currently it has 9 chapters, 179 pages and 150 
ready-to-run little demo programs in its source code archive (chapter 10 
will be added in a few days):
