Trying to teach myself RoR through building a simple app. where do I start?

Question

First of all, forgive the newbie question -- I won't begrudge downvoters.

What I have in mind is 3 views.

A main index page. 
A sub index page where the user can drill down to a sub index and
A page that houses content relating to the particular item chosen from the sub-index

Should I create the models first or controllers or views? As a very new programmer, should I use scaffolding?

The more concrete the answers to this question the better or if there are other resources with specific executable steps you can point me to, that would be great.

I recommend searching in Google, or StackOverflow, or *somewhere*, for "rails tutorial." — Bob Gilmore, Sep 20 '13 at 16:10
