You're overqualified.

Seriously, the Pickaxe is a good place
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/

Generally documentation can be found here
http://www.ruby-doc.org/

There are also some tutorials
http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/ruby/0.3/
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ruby-doc-bundle/Tutorial/

And then there is of course why's guide
http://www.poignantguide.net/ruby/

Kind regards
