Hi,
I know this is somewhat out-dated, but is it worth getting?
I came accross Ruby a few months ago when this book was already outdated so I did not read it - however I guess I was in the same shoes as you are now (judging from the symptoms you described).
The best cure I found is called "Ruby for Rails" from David A. Black. It's one of the best tech books I ever came across. Definitely check it out.
