Want to learn Ruby on Rails - good online tutorials?
I want to teach myself Ruby on Rails . I am new to web development. I hate to read manuals and learn better than read. I understand the basics of Ruby on Rails conventions and the idea behind it. But for me, the best way to learn how to use stuff is with a step-by-step guide that walks me through things like setup, apps, etc.
What's especially good about this area? Also, what is the best installation package for someone completely new to Ruby on Rails (like I'm still learning SQL and web server management, though).

This is not an online tutorial (although you can get a PDF), but the first 200 pages of Agile Web Devlelopment with Rails is a step-by-step guide to writing an online store (with a shopping cart, admin area, etc.). The book is also generally a great resource to learn when you are learning Rails, especially when trying to figure out the "Rails way" of doing things.
