Newby question

Have a new job. I am creating dynamic(ajax) web pages that will update our databases. The DBs are on Linux.

I have the AJAX built and on Linux. I am able to view my pages. Now I want to start back-ending my DB and was going to use RUBY.

I have never used RUBY before. Does anybody out there have any starter code that I could see/use, that would get my web pages talking to my DB. Any pointers/things to look for would be great too. The only thing I have done so far is install RUBY on my Linux OS.

Thanks in advance.
Anything will help
