Not aware of any book that specifically addresses the move from Ruby to PHP, but you may find the reverse helpful: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ndphpr/rails-f

Not aware of any book that specifically addresses the move from Ruby to PHP, but you may find the reverse helpful: http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ndphpr/rails-for-php-developers http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ndphpr/rails-for-php-develope... Of course there's plenty of PHP-specific books. I found one by Wrox to be very helpful: Professional PHP Programming. PHP syntax is similar to Perl (and/or C) where blocks are delimited by curly brackets, statements by semi-colons and object to method (or attribute) is referenced by two characters vs. Ruby's dot. So in essence, you'll be using that Shift key a lot more.
