Ruby quickstart guide?

I've unexpectedly had a Ruby project drop onto my lap. Since I've never done anything with it before I'm looking for something that could help me get my feet wet. Ide One[^] supports Ruby, so I should be able to do basic makeee-learnee coding without having to install anything first; but could use a good tutorial to cover the important features of the language and it's idioms so I don't start learning it the wrong way.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I believe Marc Clifton is the resident RoR guru, doing a quick search here he's done a couple of related articles and if I remember correctly you might look back on some of his early lounge posts I believe he gave a slew of information pertaining to the subject.

Despite its name, that appears to be a lot more of a language reference than a tutorial. What I'm looking for is more a set of sample programs with explanations of why they're written the way they are. (From peanut gallery comments I've seen elsewhere, The Ruby Way(tm) is often different than the naive approach that someone coming from a member of the C family would choose.)

Rubykoans is a great place to start. It's test first learning so you'll fall right in line with the rest of the community's expectations.
