Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows. Visual Studio is listed as the required IDE, and all project creation and debugging instructions center on Visual Studio, which is primarily a Windows application. Environment variable setup instructions list Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell before Linux/macOS equivalents. The use of PowerShell and Windows-specific commands is prominent, and Linux/macOS instructions are included only as alternatives. There are no examples or guidance for using cross-platform editors (such as VS Code) or for developing and debugging Azure Functions on Linux.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for setting up and developing Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code or the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Present Linux/macOS commands and workflows alongside Windows instructions, rather than after them, to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Include examples for project creation, debugging, and environment variable setup using Linux/macOS shells and tools.
  • Highlight cross-platform compatibility and provide parity in screenshots and step-by-step guides for non-Windows environments.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-specific and offer alternatives for each major OS.
