Depends if they have read the necessary literature, even a welder or carpenter need to read some literature (read a little bit about welding), if they still have books they might learn fast again.

Used Java in programming course at University, read books about C/C++ and used it professionally then needed for 10 years, many of the concepts are similar but I had not been able to learn without reading the books. > > Met this attitude then working, "it will all be fine if we just get the > > project". > > No, that's just putting your head in the sand and hoping for the best.
