Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and workflows (Visual Studio, PowerShell, setx for environment variables) are mentioned first or exclusively in several places. PowerShell is given as a primary example for package installation and role assignment, and Visual Studio is the only full-featured IDE mentioned. While Linux alternatives (Azure CLI, Bash, Visual Studio Code) are present, they are often listed after Windows options or with less detail. Some steps, such as setting environment variables, provide Windows-specific instructions first and more context, while Linux instructions are brief. There are no examples for MacOS, and the overall workflow assumes a Windows-centric development environment.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and macOS examples are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows examples.
  • List cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code) before platform-specific ones (PowerShell, Visual Studio) where possible.
  • Provide explicit macOS instructions for environment variable setup and other platform-specific steps.
  • Include Linux-first or cross-platform-first code blocks and workflows, especially for common developer tasks.
  • Mention alternative editors (e.g., JetBrains Rider) and terminal environments for non-Windows users.
  • Clarify when steps are identical across platforms to avoid unnecessary Windows-centric framing.
