I'm learning Ruby and Rails and I am installing the RVM in my Mac / OS X Lion.
Any advise?
You have to understand that Gems are just simple libraries that you install when you need them for a particular problem.
Rails for example brings a lot of gems with it by default, and once you need something more you simply add that to your Gemfile.
You just go ahead and install whatever gem you need to solve a problem.
There is this awesome little site called ruby-toolbox that gives you a listing of the most used RubyGems for solving different problems, but you usually only select one once you actually have a problem.
For starting out with Rails you won't need anything besides Rails.

Does sby know what's the main difference between the fullcalendar-rails and the fullcalendar-engine-rails gem? I don't know which one I should pick.
Looks like the engine version depends upon the non-engine one... Just looking at the readmes:
https://github.com/bokmann/fullcalendar-rails
this is a rails implementation of the jquery plugin.
It lets you add the js into your asset pipeline by adding the gem to your gemfile instead of copy/pasting js into your app
https://github.com/vinsol/fullcalendar-rails-engine
This seems to be an engine implementation of the above - it appears to give you some nicer convenience methods on top of just bringing in the js.
Note: this is from a quick google and 30 seconds of skimming the readmes... I suggest you read them yourself to get more info.
As to "which one to choose"... can't help you if you don't tell us what you need it for. (also that's probably a bit beyond the scope of an S/O question.

So as I learn about Ruby I see nothing about using it on a website or how to connect to a database that's not local. Any help is appreciated. I'm learning Ruby for use on the web. Thanks.
There's a lot of content on google about deploying and developing a Ruby On Rails website, I would recommend searching Ruby docs, youtube and google.
Here are a few resources that may answer your question:

So I'm about to leave for africa for 2 weeks where i will for the most part not have an internet connection, during which i am going to start learning ruby on rails so that i can implement it in the social network i am going to start building when i get back. Im planning on saving the tutorials from rubyonrails.org to my computer before i go so that i can still use them but it seems like almost all of them are dependent on me being able to download files from the internet(for example won't "$ rails new blog" pull that info from the rails server?), does anyone know of a way i could use ruby (in particularly these tutorials) without the internet (like maybe i just need to pre-install a bunch of gems or something?)
I have basically no experience with rails so sorry if my interpretation of ruby and these tutorials is incorrect.
Theoretically, yes, practically, no. Sure, you can fire up a local web server and write code, but you obviously don't want to write everything yourself, you want to take advantage of ruby's gem package system. This will, obviously require an internet connection.

I am trying to run the code present in https://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example.git but could not able to do. I have tried a few examples before and it went so good. I could not do the same with this. There is no gemfile and probably few things are missing. Somebody tell me how to execute this particular example.
The last commit is 3 years old on that repo so I doubt it is compatible with bundle and Rails 3. I would advise you to try devise for authentication instead os authlogic as with Rails3 that is the defacto auth gem.
Example applications: https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/Example-Applications

I'm just getting started with rails and ruby and i wanna start giving back to the community,
Are there any cool gems / plugins that spring to mind that need some tlc or rails 3 fixes that i could start contributing on?
I know your sposed to scratch your own itch.. but most the gems i use work great! :-P
Thanks..
Daniel
Read Contributing to Rails and take a look at Github, a lot of gems (including rails) are hosted there, it has a cool issue tracking system so you can fork and start patching :)
Authlogic. It needs to be refactored to use ActiveModel. Also take a look at the feature request at the issue tracker.
