Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias. Windows and PowerShell tools are prioritized or exclusively mentioned in several sections, especially for development environment setup and database permission granting. Visual Studio for Windows is described in detail, while Linux/macOS workflows are either missing, less detailed, or only referenced via Azure CLI. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions for tasks like connecting to SQL Database or running migrations, and PowerShell/Windows tools are often the default or only example.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions for all steps, including connecting to Azure SQL Database (e.g., using sqlcmd on Linux, Azure Data Studio, or cross-platform tools).
- Ensure that examples using PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are accompanied by equivalent Bash/Azure CLI or cross-platform alternatives.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform or CLI-based approaches are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell methods.
- Include guidance for developing and debugging with .NET on Linux/macOS (e.g., using VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or CLI tools), not just Visual Studio for Windows.
- Clarify that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS where possible, and highlight any platform-specific limitations.
- Add migration and publishing instructions for Linux/macOS environments, using dotnet CLI and Git instead of only Visual Studio UI.
