Hi Sam, I am also in almost similar situation. I am about to finish Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl. I have plans to read "Well Grounded Rubyist" for Ruby and "The Rails Way" for Rails. Also have plans to watch railscasts.
Apart from that I have joined free course "Software Engineering for Software as a Service" by coursera.org. This course teaches the engineering fundamentals for long-lived software using the highly-productive Agile development method for Software as a Service (SaaS) using Ruby on Rails. I request group members to suggest us how to proceed further and become a good rails developer.
