Ruby is a good language to learn. There are a massive amount of resources out there for people trying to learn. Check out codecademy or codeschool for their tutorials. They can really help you learn the basics.

Another tip is try to actually build some basic programs. You can learn so much more from building something than reading about it.

I couldn't get my head around ruby, when I tried. Python stuck.

So in my opinion, it is something, that has to fit to oneself. So my recommendation would be to try some things on codeacademy (or anything like this) and see what fits.

And no, I will not wander into the "this language is better territory" ;-)
