There is a classic series online called "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist"

You can use those to not only get some theory but also get into the
syntax of the languages in which you may be interested. Though the
ruby one of not complete you can use one of the other languages to
bridge the knowledge to ruby. I believe the book is available for
Java, C++, and Python. The Ruby one is apparently stillborn.

This series is "free" online with both html and pdf available. They
are canonical and pedagogical for beginners. This is a good place to
start IMHO.
