Specifically where were you getting stuck with Ruby/Rails? My background is C#/ASP.NET MVC too. The structure of a rails app is not all that different to that of an ASP.NET MVC app. The biggest challenge for me was adjusting to all the extra syntactic sugar in Ruby compared to C#. Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial was what I used when picking up Rails. http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ railsguides.com has some pretty great videos on using different rails libraries. If you're really not a fan of the Ruby syntax, maybe something like Python with Django would suit you better. If it's missing the Visual Studio IDE that's giving you trouble you might want to check out the RubyMine IDE (made by the same devs as the Resharper VS add-on).
