Web Development

So, I've decided to learn a little about web development in my spare time since I figured it might be fun to do in my spare time and useful in the future. I have been trying to find some good resources on the subject, and have started using:
http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp
I haven't read a lot of it but it seems good thusfar. Any thoughts/advice on good resources (especially free internet-based ones) to learn about Web Development, or just advice on the topic in general for a beginner such as myself?
(also, I've been programming in other languages like C and python for awhile now so this isn't my first time programming, just in case that's important)

For all intents and purposes it might as well be. No one cared about Ruby until that God awful web application stack came along and it's cult like rabid Mac using TextMate evangalising ex-PHP-kiddie community.

Ruby is nothing more than a cheap clone of what's already been done in Perl and Python, just with go-faster stripes and viral marketing.
