Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is presented as the primary IDE, with detailed, image-rich instructions, while Visual Studio for Mac is only mentioned in a table and not covered in the main flow. PowerShell is given a dedicated section, but Linux shell (bash) is only referenced via Azure CLI, and the PowerShell section explicitly recommends using Azure CLI for Linux. In PowerShell deployment steps, only Windows file paths and commands (e.g., Compress-Archive, cd bin\Release\net8.0\publish) are shown, with no Linux equivalents. Some PowerShell Linux deployment instructions are commented out and not visible to users. Throughout, Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Solution Explorer, right-click Publish) are emphasized, and screenshots are exclusively from Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide parity in instructions and screenshots for Linux and macOS users, especially for command-line and VS Code workflows.
- Include explicit bash/zsh shell commands and file paths alongside PowerShell commands, particularly for packaging and deploying with Azure CLI.
- Uncomment and surface the PowerShell Linux deployment instructions, or better yet, provide cross-platform PowerShell Core examples.
- Add more guidance for Visual Studio for Mac and clarify any differences in steps or UI.
- Balance the order of presentation so that cross-platform tools (CLI, VS Code) are not always secondary to Windows/Visual Studio.
- Where possible, use neutral language and examples that work on all platforms, or clearly indicate platform-specific steps.
