Get The Rails Way back. it's a far better book than Agile Web Development with Rails. Also, get a good Ruby book like "Ruby For Rails" from Manning.

I'll have to agree with that one. I preferred "The Rails Way" to Agile Web Development, because it focuses on Rails' internals. You shouldn't start with that book though. Tutorials, screencasts and a bit of hacking first I'd say.
