I'm just learning Rails as well and I found http://railsforzombies.org/ and http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ to be great resources.

I will second railsforzombies.org, I really liked that one.

I would also recommend tryruby.org for a quick, interactive primer on the syntax.

In addition, #RubyOnRails is very active on freenode, so you can always come and ask questions.
