Ruby (and rails)

So I've decided to learn Ruby and Rails. Just some links I've found useful in getting started.

Of course there is all the *nix/win32 env install crap, rvm seems to be THE choice, and since I'm using linux, it's easy enough.

Good entry point for a web developer.

A cross platform textmate like editor that may be worth looking into.

Neat for the lazy learner. Threads are short here but interesting.

Comming with considerable php experience this was nice to see how CGI has been plugged into Ruby (Ruby->Rack->Rails)
