Agile Web Development with Rails
Dave Thomas and David Heinemeier Hansson, with Leon Breedt, Mike Clark, James Duncan Davidson, Justin Gehtland, and Andreas Schwarz
It quickly brings any PHP programmer up to speed with one of the hottest technologies in existence today. I’d recommend this manual to any PHP developer who would like to quickly learn how to use Rails.
This book does exactly what it says on the front: it gives a comprehensive overview of Rails from the perspective of the seasoned PHP developer and it does it very, very well.
This is an enjoyable book packed with great information and usable examples. I like the organization of the book and the gentle, informal voice with which the authors cover many complex topics. It’s easy to read, yet it has plenty of substance and depth to give the reader a great introduction to Rails.

I highly recommend Rails For PHP Developers. Provides side-by-side PHP/Ruby code and is overall a great introduction to Ruby.
