Man it's always so crazy to see how big/well designed Rails sites are compared to Ruby sites.

And for a good Ruby book, David Black's Well-Grounded Rubyist is pretty good: http://www.manning.com/black2/ http://www.manning.com/black2/

i'll second the recommendation for railscasts. subscribe to it in itunes, watch them every week when they come out. they're not long or hard to follow, and you'll learn a lot of good material. i've been using rails for 4 years and i still continue to learn a lot of useful things from railscasts. sometimes it's not even the topic of the video, but just some minor shortcut or rails'ism that i didn't know about.
