Re: My team is switching languages, and we would love help.
Asking for advice and assistance is great approach. If you can get a knowledgable mentor to assist, that will probably more helpful than anything else.
Jumping in and trying to get over the hump on one Saturday is perhaps a bit ambitious, but if you can prep for it, it may be a good start. I'd recommend that you open examples and sample code and read through it a few times before getting to the actual robot. The environment may pose as many issues as the language, so you may find it useful to do some Eclipse projects even if they don't use WPILib or deal with robots. Learn to edit, compile, and debug simple things before jumping into a big project.
Learning a new language, or a new anything, is a prime skill to work on. I don't think I'm in the best position to help you out, but if you have questions or comparisons on the forum, I'll be happy to help.
