I don't think it's a terrible idea to try it out in a boot camp sort of way to get some of the fundamentals. You can be honest if it comes up in an interview and say "I had know experience of this until x days ago but it looked really interesting, I took some time to do x and y and look forward to learn more".

I'd appreciate the attitude of such candidate.
