I've always found it's a lot easier if you learn the language (And others' habits & conventions) before picking up the framework. Rails will come a lot easier after you're familiar with Ruby and getting the correct environment setup (RVM/RBEnv, Familiarity with popular libraries, etc) Best of luck!
