Well, obviously, Ruby as the language, Rails as the framework, MVC to
understand how it all fits together, and some database to work with
(MySQL, SQLite, Postgres seem to be the top contenders). Javascript
comes in handy, CSS, and I personally use HAML as my markup in
preference to erb as I find it cleaner to read and write.

Google is your friend for Rails development, just make sure the
tutorials/examples you are following match the version of Ruby and Rails
you have installed. Ryan Bates has a number of very good tutorials on
useful topics. Do bookmark the Ruby and Rails API docs in your browser.

Start your application small and build up from there (learn to walk
before you try to run). Get basic CRUD working, then extend. You will
want to learn at least one of the automated testing tools for Rails,
google that topic as well.

Editors? Feh, I use gedit on Linux, CodeWright on Windows. That's all
you need, no fancy code-completing needed here, basic syntax
highlighting is plenty.
