I am considering whether to take a course using Visual Studio, .Net, C#, Entity Framework, MVC, .Web Services, Web API and RestFul Services, Nunit. There will also be group projects. I don't have access to Windows but only Ubuntu, and the instructor and other classmates will use Windows. Will it be impossible for me to take the class? How shall I overcome the challenge? For example, are there replacements of those programming tools in Ubuntu? Note that running a Windows virtual machine is very slow on my laptop.

Thanks.
