A lot of people recommended me ruby but I feel like I'm loosing the foundation of programming and maybe somewhere along the line I won't understand something because I skipped it.

This is correct. Start with something like C#, Java or Go.
http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Ruby-Novice-Professional-Exp... this is a good book for the Ruby path.
http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ This is the go-to rails tutorial. But beware that he doesn't explain things in super fine detail, so if Hartl tells you to do something that you don't understand stop and do some research on whats happening. Expect to spend a day or two on each chapter.
