How do you recognize good programmers if you're a business guy? It's not as easy as it sounds. CV experience is only of limited use here, because great programmers don't always have the "official" experience to demonstrate that they're great. In fact, a lot of that CV experience can be misleading. Yet there are a number of subtle cues that you can get, even from the CV, to figure out whether someone's a great programmer. More here.

I was referring more to frameworks rather than languages. Sure, learning multiple languages isn't really that hard once you've learned one. But if you know C++, if somebody stuck a Win32 MFC app in front of your face, would you know what to do with it? What about one built with wxwidgets, QT, or GTK+? Sure, if you didn't know them, maybe you could read the docs for a few hours and hack your way through it. But that's not exactly what I would consider to be 'fluent' in that particular thing.
