Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows development environments, Visual Studio, and PowerShell examples. Linux alternatives are referenced only via external links or brief mentions, with most step-by-step instructions, tooling, and screenshots focused on Windows and Visual Studio. Linux-specific setup and usage are not covered in detail, and the main device simulation workflow is described using Windows-centric tools and patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide equally detailed Linux setup instructions inline, including package dependencies, build tools (e.g., gcc, make), and IDE alternatives (e.g., VS Code, CLion).
  • Include Linux shell (bash) examples for environment variable setup, SDK build, and device simulation, not just PowerShell and Windows command prompt.
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux environments (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Visual Studio steps.
  • Reference and summarize the linked Linux/macOS setup documentation within the tutorial, rather than requiring users to navigate away.
  • Offer troubleshooting and cleanup instructions for Linux (e.g., using az CLI in bash, removing resources via shell commands).
  • Clarify which steps are OS-agnostic and which require OS-specific instructions, and present both options side by side.
