[Techtalk] ruby course?

[April]

I've been thinking "oh I should find out more about Ruby" for a while, 
but the link you included got me REALLY excited.  I'd be interested in 
taking a course, or even participating in the equivalent of a book 
discussion group... We assign ourselves a tutorial to read and work 
through, and we throw around some discussion and use each other for 
questions, then do it again next week.

I'm a programmer-lite with experience solely in web-apps.
