Hi,

I think If you can spend some time with (pure) PHP, It is the best option.
Participate on at least one project.
I found following is in one of excellent CakePHP book.

Once readers have gone through the book, there will be no turning back! Web
development will never be the same again. Developing a web application will
become so easy, that it might make the readers very lazy. As a matter of
fact, readers might even forget the basic syntaxes of PHP! And the word Cake
will have a completely new meaning to them

All of it should fit into place - on a pure php side of things, make
sure you are 100% up to php array usage, all other parts of the
language should fall straight into place
with any of the primers  you have learned so far.

After that it is just boning up on the convention side of things and
figuring out the best association side of related models to use to
access data based on the default recursive Model::find* methods.

I'd recommend you go through some of the tutorials that are available. Watch 
some screencasts about building a basic CakePHP application (the blog app is a 
common one) and try to follow along, built your own app that does what they're 
doing. Try making small changes. The PHP documentation is pretty good at 
helping you learn how to use individual functions, once you get to something 
you need a PHP function for. And of course the CakePHP book is there as a 
reference for how CakePHP fits together.

Go for it
I made the transition after 10 years in C#.
I guess you want to do web applications so you have to learn new things any
way.
I think php and cakephp in particular is the best thing to start with.
