Hi Arthur, I doubt you're going to get anybody to train you, or help, for such low rates. I suggest you get up to speed with it all yourself - ask for a training day, one day a week. It will be well worth it in the long run, for you and the company.
You need to start by learning ruby, then ruby on rails - at least the basics. There are some good books around, and lots of help online too. Then, download the Hobo user guide, and go through it all, right from the start, especially through the agility tutorial. That covers almost everything you need to know about Hobo. Then as you get stuck, search the group here, if no answers help, then ask. One you get stuck in, it will become clearer how things work. Install is really easy. Find a ready rolled Ruby on Rails install package. Then 'gem install hobo' at the prompt, is the only extra step. Hope that helps.
