There's positions opening up in a new business a mate of mine is setting up. There's standard web stuff but the Java positions (it's a mobile/web based company) are going to pay double.

I know php pretty much inside out and am conquering ASP.NET 2.0 (C#) atm, would Java be a world apart for me or does it bear any relation to those two languages?
 
It's a bit differerent to PHP, not a scripting language for a start unless you're using JSPs? Tho I thought PHP5 'borrowed' it's OO stuff from Java so if you know that you might be familiar. I haven't had too many problems transitioning from PHP but JSPs and Enterprise Java are totally different really.
 
converting from C# to java will be a trivial task to be honest. I converted form Java to C# without any issues at all.

go over to java.sun.com and work through the tutorial.

C# to Java and visa-versa is no problem, they are very similar. If its for a mobile company they likely will need J2ME as well. This is same syntactically but misses a lot of the bloat in regular java.

I actually learned Java first in uni, and whilst learning it I started mucking about with PHP and I have to say ... it's practically the same language.

Well ... compared with ASP I really can't see many differences between PHP & Java. The only thing thats majorly different is that you have to put a dollar sign infront of any variables. From what i've seen though all the if, while, for loops & statements are just about the exact same. I'd go ahead and learn Java if I were you, once you get into making GUI applications it can become really enjoyable :)
