Re: Stupid question that should be easy to answer...

Let me start by giving you a bit of information. Prior to 2004, PBASIC (similar to Visual Basic) was used as the programming language. In 2004, and as far as I know, 2005, the chip will be programmed in C (someone who knows C++ knows C, but they are not the same).

If your programmer knows BASIC, C should not be a very large step. If he starts learning now (practicing with the 2004 equipment) he should be perfectly capable by 2005.
