That's a tough one for me because I have no PHP experience and I don't think Luke has any Rails experience. I know that given a choice of Java vs. Rails for web development I would recommend Rails hands down (and in fact I moved one of my own sites from one to the other), but that's probably not much help for you.

One thing I could recommend is that if you find that you learn well from video resources that you look at some of the instruction made available by Railscasts.com (free) and PeepCode.com (small fees per video). There are also some introductory screencasts available at RubyonRails.com. Perhaps you could watch some material on both and see if one appeals more than the other. Alternatively perhaps flipping through some books might help. Simply Rails 2.0 might give you something you could compare against a good starting book for CakePHP.

I'm a front end web designer just starting to venture into back end web development. I'm having trouble deciding what I should learn. I've narrowed it down to CakePHP or Ruby on Rails. I don't have any experience with PHP or Ruby.

I have a basic understanding of programming concepts from a few classes I took in college. So which one of these frameworks do you think is the easiest to learn for a beginner?
