Switching gears, Build your own Ruby on Rails Web Applications is an excellent primer. I like to learn new languages starting with "Hello, world!" and iterating from there, picking up syntax as I go. Like Einstein said, never memorize what you can look up on the internet, right? Anyway, I immensely enjoyed the poingant guide, but Lenz's book is superior when you get serious. Ignore the serial-killer-cam picture of him on the site, he seems very nice in the book. Use the oldschool 1.3 instantrails, then just port it over to 2.02 when you're done.
