We created One Month Rails to address specifically this problem. It's all online and here are some of the lessons we teach: The command line, Setting up Github, Going online with Heroku, Registering a custom domain. The idea is to show people how to build a simple Pinterest-like photosharing web app. We're going to be expanding that to include other web apps (like Airbnb and Reddit). If you're interested @austenallred I can give you access and I'd love to hear your feedback. Email mattan at onemonth dot com
