so I want to start developing in XNA. As of now, I do not know C#, but I would consider myself "good" at Java. I have looked at some C# code and it looks almost IDENTICALidentical to Java... After looking at this, http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/java_csharp_comparison.htmlJava and C# Comparison, it looks like they are basically the same. Obviously some function names are going to be different, but I think I can handle it. Now if I want to learn game development in XNA, do I really need to "learn" and master C#, or can I just jump right in and learn along the way? I should also mention, I also know PHP which looks very similar...

Do I really need to "learn" C# for XNA if I know Java?
