I would read the Pickaxe first and get a good grip on ruby before
moving onto AWDWR

I don't think it's as different as you think. I came to Rails with no
web experience.
Part of it depends on where you see yourself going. I personally am
more of a backend programmer whose frontend happens to be the web,
however most of the time I am solving problems that are completely
independent from that front end. I leave the graphical design, css and
that sort of thing to people who care deeply about those things (it
does help to understand what's going on, in particular a healthy
understanding of the DOM and javascript is useful if you want a richer
interaction than a traditional website. CSS selectors and so on are
cool, however I know nothing about making stuff look pretty).
Depending on what you want to do, that may or may not be an option.
