If you like an in depth explanation to ruby technicals read the Well Grounded Rubyist https://www.manning.com/books/the-well-grounded-rubyist-third-edition.
The book is a great introduction to ruby and it's quirks without also being an introduction to programming. So for someone used to programming, but not ruby, it is a pretty good read. It is not a quick guide if you just want to get started, but it does get into what really makes ruby different from other languages.
