I highly recommend Agile Web Development with Rails, its a very fast read and will get you off the ground and running in no time - http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-with-rails-third-edition http://www.pragprog.com/titles/rails3/agile-web-development-... They also have a beta version of the 4th edition for sale which gets updated every few weeks with the new changes if you are interested in learning rails 3, although you would truthfully be fine sticking with rails 2.x. Best of luck!
