Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias by exclusively using Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) for all development and deployment steps, specifying Windows as the required operating system for the Function App, and omitting any guidance or examples for Linux or cross-platform development environments. No mention is made of alternatives such as Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, or command-line tooling that would enable Linux or macOS users to follow the tutorial. All screenshots and instructions are tailored to Windows users, and there is no parity in instructions or tooling for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions and examples for developing and deploying Azure Functions using Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, or other cross-platform tools.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Functions can be developed and deployed from Linux and macOS, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Include instructions for creating a Function App with the operating system set to Linux, and clarify any differences in the process.
  • Provide code snippets and package installation commands using dotnet CLI (cross-platform) in addition to Visual Studio and PowerShell examples.
  • Ensure screenshots and UI instructions are not exclusively from Windows environments, or provide alternative visuals for Linux/macOS users.
