From Java to Rails – what do I need to know?

I'm trying to make the move from corporate java development to Ruby on Rails development, and I'm trying to put together a list of things I need to learn.

For context, what I know & don't know already in that domain:

Know: ruby itself, a decent amount of html, some css, a tiny bit of javascript. I've messed around a little bit with wicket & spring on the java web dev side, although I'm more comfortable with swing and backend-y things.

Don't really know: any advanced javascript or CSS tricks; Framework-style programming in general seems a bit awkward for me.

So- any good ideas of what I should be looking at beyond rails tutorials?

Thanks!
