I would advise learning ruby (the language) first and once you are comfortable with it, learn rails (the web platform). I've never used rails but I program a lot in ruby, which I find makes me very productive.

Learn ruby before rails. It will be much easier to grasp rails later.

The other thing you can do is to learn TDD practice alongside Rails. Ruby community has some really awesome tools for TDD, like RSpec, that will make your Rails experience even better.

P.S. http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ - great resource as well.

I found that Tracks is a helpful open-source application for learning ruby on rails:

http://getontracks.org

Search the Tracks forums for tutorials for setting up a ruby development environment on Ubuntu.

Once Tracks is installed, you have a large code base to play with.
