I agree that eCommerce is awesome, but it could be tough for a Rails/MySQL newbie. It'll be fine for Kola because he's already done a lot of coding in Rails.
I started with "Agile Web Development with Rails" and then "Ruby for Rails". After reading a little of those books, and a little of "Rails Recipes", I really appreciated finding eCommerce.
