Your not alone Bryan.

At the moment we are all learning by experimentation and trial, which
is not really good enough.

The Rails framework is fantasic, the community is good and there are
plenty of gurus sharing their Ruby-foo, but the core documentation is
lacking; hence the Caboo.e effort
(http://blog.caboo.se/pages/documentation_drive).

The real problem IMHO is a combination of rdoc and the actual
documentation.  While rdocs format works, the navigation is cumbersome
and it lacks some of the other commands needed for rails development
(such as rake or generate).  Personally, I need more examples to grasp
the options for many of the functions.
