Summary:
The documentation is generally cross-platform and Linux-oriented for hosting, but there are subtle Windows biases in development and publishing workflows. Windows terminology ("command prompt"), tools (Visual Studio Code, Azure Functions Core Tools), and recommendations for remote build when developing on Windows are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. There is also a lack of explicit Linux shell examples, and some folder structure examples use Windows-style command prompt formatting. However, the documentation does clarify that Python Functions are only supported on Linux in Azure, and most content is platform-neutral.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux shell (bash) examples alongside or before Windows command prompt examples, especially for commands like pip install and func azure functionapp publish.
- Use neutral terms like 'terminal' or 'shell' instead of 'command prompt' when referring to cross-platform development environments.
- Include instructions or notes for Linux/macOS users wherever Windows-specific guidance is given (e.g., Visual Studio Code, Azure Functions Core Tools).
- Show folder structure examples using POSIX-style paths (with /) or provide both Windows and Linux versions.
- Clarify that all development and deployment steps are fully supported on Linux, and highlight any differences or additional steps required for Linux users.
- If recommending remote build for Windows, also explain the equivalent or best practice for Linux/macOS users.
