Transitioning from Java Development - Advice for a new comer.

I'm a senior Java / Web Developer at my current organisation and have been asked to transition over to SalesForce Developement.

I've done a bit of reading up and figured that my best approach would be to really get to grips with SF administration before getting my hands dirty with APEX and the like.

Having a solid grounding in both Java and Web Development it looks on the face of it that quite alot of my current skillset will come in useful (especially with the introduction of Lightening).  Would I be right in thinking this, or is this going to be an uphill struggle?

Anyway, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has trodden the same path as I am about to and what your experience has been?  Do you have any good advice for me?  Is there anything that looking back you would have done differently?  do you have any regrets?

It'd be great to hear from anyone who has any experience that they would like to share.

Thanks,
Dave.
