    is C# for gaming dying because of Unity3D dying? or will there be something with unreal engine?

    Boa tarde,eu gostaria por gentileza um feedback de alguem sobre o New Year – New C# Certification, eu concluí a coleção de desafios, e gostaria onde vai ficar disponibilizado a certificação.

      • Ramon Palheta Pessôa de Souza

        Good afternoon, thank you for your kindness in answering me, I had already taken the certification exam in C# at freeCodCamp another opportunity and I obtained my certification, I was in doubt if this challenge would be related to another certification. But anyway, thank you for clarifying my doubts. Have a great 2024

    looks great, can you also add F# content to this blog post?

    • Thamer Zahrani

      DevDiv haven’t really been the greatest F# custodians, its not surprising as it was a MSR project thrown at them (C# devs) to maintain, of course its a second thought to them.
