Use what you know, but that said, some tools can produce a better product, faster. Building products is a marathon so you might as well learn Rails. Purchase some begineer screencasts and don't worry (right now) about anything advanced like testing. Forget about haml and sass initially. Just learn Ruby and Rails. A solid understanding of Ruby is very important. Rails, like anything, takes much longer than 12 hours to learn. Familiarity with CodeIgnighter can reduce the initial Rails learning curve.
