Great. Thanks for this. I am still trying to understand the intricacies of MVC architecture if that gives you any indication of my experience. I am a front end guy and have worked in the Views layer a good bit but this will be my first real language (Ruby) and framework. I felt like I was trying to cram too much in all at once. I think I will definitely wait to learn more about testing.

How is your programming experience overall? I'd suggest learning ruby first, rails later.

HTML, CSS and a little bit of Javascript/jQuery... I'm self taught, just finished an internship in front end dev at livinsocial, but want to get down to the real stuff, you know. But I'll take your advice I think and learn a little more about Ruby before continuing with all these Rails tutorials and what not.
