the same was happened to me when i was hired to do JavaME developement. 
that was the first time i have to do anything with Java, yet i managed to 
reach higher speed and quality that some of employer's existing "Java 
specialists". not 'cause i'm so brilliant, but 'cause i have a general 
programming experience, and learning new syntax and consulting dox on 
standard libraries aren't that hard.

oh, well, i repeated Joel almost literally here. ;-)
