Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows and Visual Studio (Windows) workflows, using PowerShell and Windows-specific tools for critical steps (such as SQLCMD and Package Manager Console), and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform alternatives for several development and database administration tasks. Linux/macOS development environments are only briefly mentioned, and there are no concrete examples for performing key steps (like database permission grants) from non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows-specific steps, especially for database administration (e.g., using sqlcmd or Azure Data CLI on Linux/macOS).
  • Include examples using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, dotnet CLI, VS Code) for all major steps, not just for setup but also for database access and migrations.
  • Reorder sections or use tabs to present Windows and Linux/macOS instructions with equal prominence, rather than listing Windows/PowerShell first.
  • Clarify which tools and commands are cross-platform and provide installation or usage notes for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add troubleshooting or notes for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., sqlcmd installation, authentication differences).
