I can't last one minute there....
Then take some time and have a look. Practice around with inputs and outputs. Unless you literally just want to know how to do these things, it's worth it to have a look, mess around a bit, and learn what things do. You'll be able to do some pretty interesting and fun stuff with it. Seeing as how people can make combination locks, alarm systems and games with it, it's rather handy to learn some.
Also, if you have a friend who knows how to use VCE, why not ask them to teach you some stuff?
Even if they can just get you started on how to work around it, it'd be useful in the long run.
That said, I don't know anything about VCE. I should probably learn to. Maybe once I get the time to do so.
