I guess you already understand the very basics of web development. HTML, CSS, CSS positioning, sql ... otherwise learn then in that order. You should learn Ruby the language. Gems are essentials in the ruby ecosystem. Do you know how to create a your own gem? Learn the in and outs of basics things. Create your own minimal authentication plugin? Create your minimal testing framework. Learn sinatra, a more simple, more fun way to write ruby web applications. Ruby is a lot about DSL. Create a dsl, or extend the testing framework to be more like rspec or bacon ... or create your own minimal siantra-like framework. Automatize your tasks, script all your daily activities using ruby. And many other things that you can do with Rub, but also learn emacs.
