    I recommend you to use RadRails you will understand it a lot because is eclipse based, like Flex Bulider, an it has a pretty good debugger with breakpoints and all that stuff.

    You probably already have it, but I also recomend that you keep using charles proxy (and if you are not using it on flex, shame on you!), also install the firebug extension for firefox, if you are a safari man enable the developer menu

    I know that you probabliy have to start with RoR without time of reading a book, I recommend you this few pages, first this getting started guide, also a page about migrations, and also about generators, and if you had time this book will help you a lot The Rails way

    Now, find yourself a new life, and open a github account, you will realize that the ruby community is mostly git based.

    Forget about CammelCase, and start getting used to snake_case you will notice that is a minor but useful change.

    Keep the terminal in your dock if you are using mac, if you are using linux you probably had one opened, and if you are using windows consider seriously migrate to linux, your life will be easier that way.

    Get used to the idea to deal with javascript, but you don’t have to do it alone, use jQuery.

    And finally when you are ready to leave your training wheels (rad rails) and move to TextMate don’t forget this two bundles: RoR bundle and git bundle

    Anyway I think this links would help you, but If you had another one you want to share, please add it on the comments, I will be happy to include them.

    Happy coding.
