I recently used the Apress book "Beginning Rails 3," and I thought it was very well done and easy to understand for a beginner. It takes you through the building of a basic blog application and touches on pretty much all the important areas. I found the more involved tutorials on the web a little hard to follow for some reason. After you have the basic understanding from a book or otherwise, the best thing to do is just start on your own project and rely on Google/Stack Overflow when you hit a roadblock.
