If you have *real* programming experience your don't need much. Learning a language doesn't take too long if your willing to put in the time. Case in point. I got a job programming in Java, even though my Java experience was all from college 10 years previous. Eventually converted that job from a Java job to a c# contract with no experience, and then with the 6 months experience in c# landed a full time job programming in c#.
