Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and Visual Studio on Windows. All instructions, screenshots, and workflows assume the use of Visual Studio 2022, which is only fully supported on Windows. There are no examples or guidance for developing Azure Functions using Visual Studio Code, .NET CLI, or other cross-platform tools. PowerShell is used in package installation examples, and Windows-specific UI elements and dialogs are referenced throughout. There is no mention of Linux or macOS development environments, nor are alternative workflows (such as using VS Code or CLI tools) provided.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for developing Azure Functions on Linux and macOS using Visual Studio Code and the .NET CLI.
- Include CLI-based instructions for project creation, dependency management, and publishing, alongside Visual Studio UI steps.
- Provide screenshots and workflow descriptions for cross-platform tools (e.g., VS Code, terminal) in addition to Visual Studio.
- Replace or supplement PowerShell commands with equivalent Bash commands for Linux/macOS users.
- Clearly indicate which steps or features are Windows/Visual Studio-specific, and offer alternatives where possible.
- Reference the Azure Functions Core Tools and Azure CLI for tasks like local development, configuration, and deployment, with examples for all supported platforms.
