#14Michael Hartl's Rails tutorial (https://www.railstutorial.org/) is a great example of this.
It'll run you through building a twitter clone and introduce you to git, heroku, a bit of CSS/HTML, and even goes into AJAX a bit.
I can't recommend it enough to people looking to get into rails.

#20Not a book but Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero series is really interesting. It's a from scratch tutorial on building game in C on windows but delves into many interesting programming topic that would be useful outside game development.
