Hello,

Forgive me for the shameless self-promotion, but if you are coming to  
Ruby from Rails, perhaps my little slide presentation
http://www.nimblecode.com/articles/2006/04/25/rubyisms-in-rails
might also be helpful. I am in the process of turning this into a  
slightly expanded ebook of 30 pages for Addison-Wesley as well,  
available this month. Okay, enough of the self-promotion.

David Black has also written a book on Ruby for Rails that is worth  
checking out.
