Start by working through some rails tutorials. railstutorial.org is good and is free to use online. Also work through the Rails Guides, starting with 'Getting Started' obviously. With regard to using vim as the editor, any text editor will suffice so just use whichever one you already use for development. Unless you are absolutely stuck with using windows then I suggest using this as an excuse to try out a linux distribution such as Ubuntu. Most of those developing rails apps use linux or Mac and it is generally more straightforward. I can almost guarantee that you would not regret the time spent learning Ubuntu, it is great to feel back in control of the PC again.
