I guess that depends on your measure of up to speed. Stick to C# and you'll
have few problems with the language at least. If you understand taglibs and
the general tag based concept that much of asp.net relies on will appear
familiar as you expose yourself to it, if your usually doing scriptlets and
servlets and MVC then you'll need a few more concepts. IIS is quite
different to Tomcat, you'll need to run with it to learn its quirks and JSP
is not that like ASP.NET as a way of delivering HTML unless your familiar
with things like Jetspeed and event driven development. The trick is
understanding the .NET framework and ASP.NET as part of that framework, what
makes it all tick (and break) and the connection to the pipeline between the
asp.net runtime handler and IIS.
Its not that tricky a learning curve though - I'd say its more difficult if
your going the other way. Some good tools out there to help you like the
Mono Project, and tools like Mainsoft Grasshopper to run asp.net apps on
tomcat and apache.

Hi,
I'm curious to know (need to tell my boss what to expect) how long it
might take to come up to speed making the move from Java / JSP to C#
ASP.NET
I know there are a million factors... but just curious to know how much
time other experienced java people spent to come up to speed with .NET
thanks,
Frank
