front-end

On of my colleagues is going to change jobs from full time frontend developer(jquery, css,html) to 50% frontend 50% .Net (MVC 3 with razor)

What are good techniques to get him up to speed asap. I have the following idea's myself

Read Clean Code
Read/Pratice with the book Pro ASP.NET MVC 3 Framework
Watch Asp.net video's http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos
Do the nerd dinner intro http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos
Start building the json services from jQuery
0.5/1 day of pair programming with an experienced .Net developer each week

Is this a good way to go? Is it totally wrong? Any other tips
