We wrote Learning Rails with web developers in mind, though probably
with a touch more JavaScript or similar light programming experience.
You might take a look at it and see if it works for you. Coming from
no programming background at all, it may go too quickly, and you'll
want to head back to learn more programming basics. On the brigher
side, though, I think it should help you figure out what you need to
set up and how deep you need to go into various areas. (You don't need
Apache or SQL experience to get through the book, and we try to
introduce and explain Ruby concepts along the way. You don't need
much JavaScript, either, though it's certainly useful background
knowledge.)
You can find out more about the book (and related resources) at
