Sure, you can pick up C# in a few weeks, but there's no way to become a competent .Net developer in 3 weeks. It's not that it's difficult to learn, but there is so much to learn. In 3 weeks you may be able to drag and drop and autogenerate enough stuff but serious development would take much longer for someone with no experience.

The same could be said about Ruby, Python, Node, etc.
