Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
powershell_heavy
Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Visual Studio is listed as the only development environment in prerequisites, and all project creation instructions assume its use. When setting environment variables, Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions are presented before Linux/macOS equivalents. PowerShell is mentioned multiple times, and screenshots show Windows terminals. There are no Linux-specific development environment instructions or screenshots, and the workflow is tailored to Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and running .NET Framework apps using cross-platform editors (e.g., Visual Studio Code with Mono, JetBrains Rider) or clarify Windows-only requirements.
  • Present environment variable commands for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows commands, not after.
  • Include Linux/macOS terminal screenshots and clarify any platform-specific behaviors.
  • Explicitly state platform limitations (e.g., .NET Framework is Windows-only, but .NET Core/.NET 5+ can run cross-platform) and link to cross-platform alternatives.
  • Reduce reliance on PowerShell and Windows command prompt in examples; provide Bash/zsh equivalents where possible.
