Bias Analysis

Summary:
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there is a subtle Windows bias. Visual Studio (a Windows-only tool) is listed first and described in detail for C# development, while Linux/macOS options (like Visual Studio Code and command line) are presented after. Some instructions and examples, such as changing ports in Visual Studio, are specific to Windows workflows. In the HTTP test tools section, PowerShell and Microsoft Edge (both Windows-centric) are listed before curl, a ubiquitous cross-platform tool. There are no explicit Linux-only examples or tools highlighted, and Linux/macOS users are not given equal prominence in tool ordering or example specificity.
Recommendations:
- In each language section, list cross-platform tools (like Visual Studio Code and command line) before Windows-only tools such as Visual Studio.
- When describing environment-specific instructions (e.g., changing ports), provide equivalent steps for Linux/macOS users or clarify if a step is Windows-only.
- In tool lists (such as HTTP test tools), list cross-platform tools (like curl) before Windows-specific tools (like PowerShell or Microsoft Edge).
- Explicitly mention and provide links to Linux/macOS-specific guides or troubleshooting where relevant.
- Where possible, add Linux/macOS screenshots or terminal commands alongside Windows examples to reinforce parity.
