Learning how to program is a lifetime journey, it is not something that you do in a couple of weeks or months, but it is possible to learn enough of a particular environment that you can use to get to a level of being able to do something moderately useful.
There isn't a book so 'dumbed down' that you don't learn anything from the only thing that you will see then is that it will be something that you can go through relatively fast. At worst it will give you the confirmation that you already knew it all :)
I'm not into ruby so I can't tell you what books to look at, but elsewhere in this thread there are some good suggestions and some people that are willing to hook up with you, so I think you'll be alright.
