Learning Ruby on Rails

I am all new to programming and what to produce userfriendly and interactive web- and mobile apps.

What guides and books would you recommend to get started programming in Ruby on Rails on the Mac?

Is RoR a good choice for creating apps that also can be converted and integrated into mobile apps?

It´s mainly some portals, social communites/dating sites, etc I want to create.

Seriously. This is the best. http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book. Come back in a week when you know things better. Yes, rails is good. But I personally don't like it. Also look at early episodes of Railscasts. http://railscasts.com. (Yes I know that rails now is rails 3 but a lot of things are the same).

I should also mention that ruby language is slow (I have no experiance developing rails at all but some "ruby sites" takes 3 seconds to load which I find annoying. Of course this has to to with how you host the site).

Rule of thumb. Learn Ruby first (very very important, same can be said for php, python...). The ruby programming language (and one more book, don't remember the title) is very good for learning Ruby. First when you know Ruby syntax, then learn Rails.
