Learn Ruby on Rails on Windows!
If you are interested in learning Ruby on a Windows machine I recommend spending a weekend to read the free online book Programming Ruby and downloading InstantRails and RadRails to begin testing the Ruby code snippets it will show you.
After that, I recommend Agile Web Developent with Rails by the-one-and-only David Heinemeier Hansson.
For support while learning hop on freenode.net and join #ruby-lang and #rubyonrails. The crowd is very enthusiastic and willing to answer your questions.

Ruby is very cool stuff! Rails is what is making it popular though, thanks to David; he made it while he was a contractor freelancing for 37Signals. He was later hired (for obvious reasons) and became a partner in the company. Brilliant guy. I really recommend his book!

Minor correction… your first link is actually “Programming Ruby”… aside from that, here’s a shameless plug for our site on Rails development for Windows developers – Softies on Rails!

Any thoughts on Django, or haven’t you tried it? I personally prefer Django over Rails, but that might be because I allready knew a bit of python beforehand.

Ruby on Rails is great. I am actually in the process of learning Ruby on Rails now. I am learning on a Mac though.
