Definitely a +1 for the Learn to Program book.

version is still free online at: http://pine.fm/LearnToProgram/

Don't hesitate to ask questions on the ML, that's what it's for.
Those are definitely the place to start.
When you do, remember, don't jump right into Rails. Spend a couple
of weeks with Ruby first, otherwise you'll end up permanently
confused as to where the dividing line is between the language and
the framework.
And when you read the Rails book, type in (don't cut-and-paste) and
follow along with the Depot example application. I still find
myself going back to look at it when I get confused as to what the
"Rails Way" of doing something is.
