I can't agree more. I came in thinking it was going to be fairly easy to pick up, but it seems like I spend most of my time just looking up how to do things "the Rails way" (not that that's a bad thing persay, but you definitely feel like you're doing nothing sometimes).

Anyways, I found Agile Web Development with Rails (4th Edition):

http://pragprog.com/book/rails4/agile-web-development-with-r...

to be fairly useful if you don't mind buying a book. Plus, the ebook gets updated fairly frequently with erratas and stuff, as per usual with the PragProg team.
