I also started using it since last couple of months. I did have automation knowledge in QTP for 6 months, but then this thing fascinated me more. I am still learning, but I can suggest a start
- Install Ruby and learn basics. Practice in irb (brush up your OOP concepts) - Then focus on learning WATIR. It is easy to understand. Even you can use WATIR without knowing Ruby well, but your script quality will depend on your Ruby knowledge. So, After a quick start with Ruby basics and Watir, keep learning Ruby side by side.
