Rails 5.0.0.rc1

I know a little about a lot of things, but I know least of all about web development. I worked my way through some Sinatra tutorials and through the Cuba.rb book, but I just never got into it.

Are there any books that you'd recommend or anything?

Personally I find the most effective way to quickly pickup something is by using it in a project. I'd recommend some of these starter projects that you can download and start hacking: http://railsapps.github.io/

For learning RoR, I can't really recommend enough Agile Web Development with Rails 4 (although you might want to wait for a revised v5 version to pop up).

It takes you through building a simple site with a shopping cart from scratch, and lets you encounter enough real-world style situations to give you a really good grounding.
