Summary:
The documentation page is generally cross-platform and Linux-friendly, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In several places, Windows terminology ("command prompt") is used before or instead of Linux/Unix equivalents ("terminal"), and some folder structure examples use Windows-style command prompt code blocks. The remote build workflow is recommended specifically for Windows users, and local build is discouraged for Windows, but not for Linux. There is also mention of the Python standard library being installed with Python on Windows, while on Unix-based systems it's described as provided by package collections, which may imply a more complex experience on Linux. However, there are no outright missing Linux examples, and Linux hosting is clearly the default for Python on Azure Functions.
Recommendations:
- Use neutral, cross-platform terminology such as 'terminal' or 'shell' instead of 'command prompt' or 'cmd', or mention both (e.g., 'terminal or command prompt').
- When showing folder structures, use generic code blocks or 'tree' command output, or provide both Windows and Unix-style examples.
- Clarify that both Windows and Linux users can use the Azure Functions Core Tools and provide any OS-specific instructions as needed.
- When discussing package management or the Python standard library, avoid implying that Linux is more complex; instead, provide clear, parallel instructions for both platforms.
- If recommending remote build for Windows, also state the recommended approach for Linux/Mac users for parity.
- Explicitly mention Linux/Mac equivalents for any Windows-specific tools or paths, and ensure all CLI commands work on both platforms.
