I kind of agree with GP sentiment for two reasons:
1. Nowadays I mostly advice newcomers to start with sinatra instead of rails, because rails keeps growing in scope and the surface to cover is huge
2. Lots of things rails does might seem magical if you don't know ruby
Don't get me wrong, rails is still bread and butter of myself and other rubyists, but for a newcomer to start with rails is a somewhat strange/scary thing to do.
