Summary:
The documentation generally maintains good cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In several places, Windows terminology ("command prompt") is used alongside "terminal" without explicit mention of Linux or macOS. The recommended development tools (Visual Studio Code, Azure Functions Core Tools) are cross-platform, but the documentation sometimes refers to 'command prompt' (a Windows term) and suggests remote build is recommended 'when developing Python apps on Windows', without giving equal emphasis to Linux/macOS workflows. There are also references to Windows-specific behaviors in the Python standard library section, and the folder structure examples use Windows-style command prompt code blocks (```cmd), which may be less familiar to Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention Linux and macOS alongside Windows when referring to terminals or development environments (e.g., 'terminal (Linux/macOS) or command prompt (Windows)').
- When recommending remote build for Windows users, also provide guidance for Linux/macOS users, including any platform-specific considerations.
- Use neutral or platform-appropriate code block labels (e.g., 'shell' or 'bash' instead of 'cmd') for folder structure and command-line examples.
- Where Windows-specific behaviors are described (such as in the Python standard library section), provide equivalent notes for Linux/macOS users.
- Ensure that all instructions, especially for publishing and package management, are equally detailed for Linux/macOS as for Windows.
- Consider adding explicit Linux/macOS command-line examples (e.g., using bash/zsh) where only generic or Windows-oriented instructions are given.
