Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) before cross-platform or Linux-native equivalents, especially in C# and deployment sections. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is often mentioned first, and PowerShell is given its own language pivot, which can imply a Windows-first development workflow. However, Linux-compatible tools (Azure CLI, Visual Studio Code, Maven, Gradle) are also documented and available, and there are no outright missing Linux examples.
Recommendations:
- When listing tools or workflows, avoid always listing Visual Studio (Windows-only) first; instead, alternate or group cross-platform tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
- Explicitly mention that Azure CLI and Visual Studio Code are cross-platform and supported on Linux and macOS, to reinforce parity.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, consider also mentioning Bash or shell equivalents for Linux users, or clarify when PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported.
- In deployment and quickstart sections, provide explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples or links, not just 'command prompt', which can be ambiguous.
- Review language in all sections to ensure it does not implicitly assume a Windows environment (e.g., avoid 'command prompt' in favor of 'terminal' or specify OS where relevant).
