I have an interview on May 4th for a mainly business modelling contract role - but it also includes some C#, so have purchased this book. I want to study the book as much as possible in the next 6 days, and ideally use both VS and VCE development environments to practice coding etc. Which trial versions of VS and VCE should I download, in order to practice what's in the book?

If you are thinking about getting VS, get the Visual Studio Professional 2010. That way, you don't need VCE. VS encompasses all the features that VCE has, but VCE lacks most of the advanced features of VS.

Good luck on you interview.
