Hi!
There're a lot of good books on Rails (http://www.rubyonrails.com/books)
on paper and in PDF; the most popular probably are:
1. "Agile Web Development with Rails", 2nd ed. by Dave Thomas & David
Heinemeier Hansson (with Leon Breedt, Mike Clark, James Duncan Davidson,
Justin Gehtland, Andreas Schwarz) - Pragmatic Programmers, 2006. 715 p.
/ PDF, 6.6 MB
2. "Ruby on Rails: Up and Running" by Bruce A. Tate & Curt Hibbs -
O'Reilly, 2006. 184 p. / CHM, 1.13 MB / PDF, 2.7 MB

(1) is a classical comprehensive tutorial, (2) is very good for quick
start.
Some links to tutorials can be found at: http://www.rubyonrails.com/docs

I'd start with David A. Black's _Ruby for Rails_.

Hi,

Amen to adding David's book to your collection!
Between that, "Agile Web Development with Rails" and
the Pickaxe, you've got your Ruby and Rails bases
covered, with precious little redundancy between them.
I really value David's book for giving one a feel for
Ruby idioms *and* Rails idioms though. As a newbie to
both, it has given me that bit more confidence in
understanding the two overlapping cultures.

Being new to the community myself, I agree with these recommendations,
especially PickAxe and David Black's book.
