There's a doc floating around out there called Four Days on Rails.  Look 
that up, I found it a decent reference and it should be enough to get 
you started (at least if it has been updated to keep pace with recent 
changes).

Agile Web Development with Rails from the Pragmattic Programmers is 
excellent and you can buy it in PDF form (and/or paper).  Rails Recipes 
from the same publishers is in BETA and you could buy that in PDF as 
well though it wouldn't be a good starting point.
