I'm absolutely in this boat at the moment, and I've covered a ton of ground. Lynda is great, railstutorial.org is fantastic as it covers pretty much all you need to know - testing, git, github, heroku etc. But I have to say, as others have said - you just have to get down and code. I've covered a lot material, but the moment you sit down to write a piece of code by yourself - the game changes. Its like a different dimension. So my advice to you as a fellow noobie is run through the tutorials enough so that you know your M from your C and get writing. Join StackOverflow (which never ceases to amaze me) and read read read! Best of luck.
