For instructor led courses, I would recommend the following: http://www.pragmaticstudio.com/rails For online resources, I would recommend the following: http://guides.rails.info/ Next, I would recommend the following books: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ruby3/programming-ruby-1-9 http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ruby/programming-ruby http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition Futhermore, if you're looking for a deeper understanding of the Ruby object model, you might want to take a look at the following screencast series: http://www.pragprog.com/screencasts/v-dtrubyom/the-ruby-object-model-and-metaprogramming Note: The above series is worth its weight in gold. Last but not least, this is a minimum list of resources that should get you on your way to getting a firm grasp of both Ruby and Rails and it's also good but not necessary to have a good understanding of Ruby before you begin Rails.
