Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and Visual Studio on Windows. All instructions and examples assume the use of Visual Studio 2022, a Windows-only IDE, and reference Windows-specific publishing targets (e.g., Azure Function App (Windows)). There are no instructions or examples for Linux users, such as using VS Code, the Azure CLI, or cross-platform .NET tools. The use of the Package Manager Console (PowerShell-based) and NuGet commands is also presented in a way that assumes a Windows environment. No Linux or cross-platform alternatives are mentioned or prioritized.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users, such as using Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider with the Azure Functions extension.
  • Include examples using the Azure CLI and/or Azure Functions Core Tools for project creation, extension installation, and deployment, which work cross-platform.
  • Show how to install NuGet packages using the dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package ...'), which is cross-platform, instead of only using the Package Manager Console.
  • When describing publishing, include steps for deploying from Linux/macOS using the Azure CLI or GitHub Actions.
  • Avoid specifying 'Azure Function App (Windows)' as the only deployment target; mention Linux-based hosting plans and how to select them.
  • Add a 'Prerequisites' section for Linux/macOS, listing required tools and setup steps.
  • Where possible, use neutral terminology (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'console') and avoid assuming the reader is using Windows.
