I've written some irb tutorials you might find handy:

Some irb-related gems I've released:

hirb (http://tagaholic.me/hirb/\) - Pretty print ruby objects as
tables, trees ...
bond (http://tagaholic.me/bond/\) - Custom autocompletion for an
object's methods, a method's arguments and more
alias (http://tagaholic.me/alias/\) - Configurable aliasing for
methods, classes, constants and more
