In addition to your ASP.NET development experience you'll need to learn SharePoint specific concepts, practices and terminology.

“I want to just drop files in a folder on my desktop and have them go to SharePoint.”
“I don’t want to keep adding things to favorites, I have too many already! Can SharePoint help?”
Users seem to have a knack for wanting SharePoint to do things that go beyond the out-of-the-box configuration. Rather than responding “SharePoint doesn’t do that.”, it’s important to try to satisfy user functionality requests (especially since a lot of them are pretty easy to do).
In this session we’ll discuss the need to take SharePoint to where the users want it to be, and some easy-to-implement tools and customizations.
