If you are learning a new application for electronics, I need to recommend Kicad. It's open source and has not limitations unlike Eagle. Eagle limits your possibilities related to commercial projects (unless you pay them) and e.g. the size of the PCB (unless you pay them) and the layers used (unless you pay them).

For first designs it's nice but it's less nice when you start the next bigger project and realize that the free version limits too much.
