I would start by working right through some good Ruby tutorials (to understand the language better) and also through some good Rails tutorials (railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online) to understand the Rails magic. Take a week out to do that and then you should be good to tackle a multitude of problems. Also monitor this list. Any time that you understand the question then follow the replies and attempt to understand the answers. That way you will learn a lot. In no time you will find yourself answering questions.
