I have done the exact same thing as you, saltcod. I have been reading on Ruby on Rails for the past 4 months prior to December. After the new year hit, I told myself that this is the year I fully understand and learn Ruby on Rails to the point of putting out a product. I had started the Rails Tutorial by Michael then stopped, probably from confusion or disinterest. I watched/read many other tutorials that are around.

I have also signed up as of Jan. 11th with a monthly Lynda subscription just to watch the Kevin Skoglund tutorials on there, I have probably 4 hours of tutorials left. I skipped much of the environment setup since I have that down. This tutorial so far has helped me to understand a lot of concepts. I hope to revisit Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial and fully complete it with TDD and all.

If you ever need a kick in the ass shoot me an email.

I will probably do a write up on my experience learning RoR after I get something built. Like the OP, coming from HTML & CSS & Some database background.
