The official ruby language website has lots of stuff to get you started, including links like the ones below. It also has a handy page about learning ruby when you already know other languages (like python).
There are lots of resources online for getting started with ruby, just do a web search for ruby tutorial or intro ruby programming.
Here are a few to get you started:
- TutorialsPoint Ruby: A straightforward online tutorial
- Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby: An oddly entertaining way to jump into Ruby
- My JNUC 2016 presentation 'Alleviating the Apprehension of Coding in Ruby' is available online
- Official References (these links for Ruby v2.3.0, but pages are available for other versions)

Gems are packages of ruby code, usually libraries, that can be installed and loaded into your code, extending ruby's functionality - like ruby-jss itself!
Gems can be installed and maintained locally using the gem package manager in a Terminal.
Almost all open-source ruby gems are hosted on rubygems.org and that is the default source used by the gem command. It also has a searchable web interface to the thousands of hosted gems, as well as documentation about the gem command and creating gems yourself.
