Thanks for the responses. I'll keep this in mind in case I have any applications for it. Should I start with Ruby or just jump straight into Ruby on Rails.

If you read _Why's that should be enough. It's pretty hard to learn RoR withouth knowing a bit of ruby. I'm sure it's possible, but you'll be able to get a lot more out of it with a tad bit of ruby knowledge. However, don't worry about mastering the language. You could also try the pickaxe(programming ruby, the pragmatic programmers guide) if you have previous programming experience or if you want a little more formal tutorial than _why gives.
Oh, and you might want to look into Nitro, the alternative to RoR. Personally I like the freedom it gives a bit more. It's still in beta and isn't as feature or tutorial rich as RoR, but I think it has a lot of perks.
