Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it does mention Linux and provides some Linux-specific configuration details, Windows tools and patterns are often mentioned first or exclusively. For example, instructions for installing Azure Functions Core Tools on Windows are more detailed, and Windows-specific configuration commands are presented before Linux equivalents. Some deployment and debugging instructions focus on Visual Studio (primarily a Windows tool) and PowerShell, with less emphasis or fewer examples for Linux environments. In several places, Linux is only mentioned as an alternative or in a tabbed section, and some CLI examples are not clearly marked as cross-platform.
Recommendations:
- Ensure all command-line instructions (e.g., Azure CLI, dotnet CLI) are clearly marked as cross-platform and provide explicit Linux/macOS shell examples where relevant.
- When listing tools or methods (e.g., Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, PowerShell), avoid always listing Windows-first tools or experiences. Alternate the order or group by platform.
- Provide equal detail for Linux and macOS workflows, especially for local development, debugging, and deployment. For example, include VS Code and CLI-based debugging instructions for Linux/macOS.
- Where Windows-specific configuration or deployment steps are given, ensure Linux equivalents are presented side-by-side or in parallel tabbed sections.
- Avoid assuming Visual Studio as the default development environment; highlight VS Code and CLI as first-class options.
- Explicitly call out any differences or limitations on Linux/macOS, and provide workarounds or alternatives where possible.
