Craig,

Don't know if this is still of use to you _but_ visit 
www.rubylearning.com to get in with a community of users who learn ruby 
in a collaborative way.

you'll be rubbing shoulders with very experienced programmers be they 
sys admins or web developers.

but everyone (in the classes I've been in are starting at a similar 
place) and i think if you have done some programming in basic you'll fit 
fine.

ruby core is FREE to join.

cheers,

dave.
