Ruby on rails

Hello,

I want to start learning ruby on rails. However, I don't know anything about it. Can someone tell me in details, from where should i start, the web is somehow strange, i don't know what to do exactly, what's the difference between ruby and rails?! what should i install at my machine? Please also note that i don't have any experience about it. So if someone can guide me, I will be thankful. I don't need links and websites unless they are totally clear for someone like me.

Thank you.

http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Web-Development-Rails-Programmers/dp/097669400X

This had a depot tutorial in it, that helped me understand everything.

Hello guys,

Thank you for the links. However, I have a question as a start:

On my first rails application I reached to the following:
#
Open the application in your editor of choice.
#
Open the config/database.yml file.

I can't do that can you clarify it a bit.

Thanks,
