My colleague Christopher Haupt and I are going to be presenting a two- day introductory seminar on Ruby on Rails in San Francisco, April 29-30. We've been producing the Learning Rails podcast for a few months now, and we presented a seminar in San Francisco in February. We've tuned up our courseware based on all the feedback from this work, and I think we'll have a very effective presentation for folks who are new to Rails.
We've partnered with Joyent to provide trial hosting for everyone, and we're providing a sample app under an open-source license, so everyone will leave the seminar with a live, deployed app. Our goal is to get people over those hurdles that can take days or weeks if you're learning all this on your own.
If you're early in your Rails education, or if you know people who are wanting to learn Rails, check it out:

The early registration discount ends today, but if you need a couple more days email me at michael (at) buildingwebapps.com and I'll extend it for you.
