Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows, such as Visual Studio, and presenting Windows command-line instructions (cmd, PowerShell) before Linux/macOS equivalents. The quickstart assumes Visual Studio as the primary development environment, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives like VS Code or CLI-based workflows. Linux/macOS instructions are present but consistently listed after Windows options.
Recommendations
  • Present cross-platform instructions (e.g., VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools CLI) alongside or before Windows/Visual Studio-specific steps.
  • List Linux/macOS and Windows environment variable commands together, or alternate their order to avoid always prioritizing Windows.
  • Include explicit instructions for developing and running Azure Functions using cross-platform tools (e.g., VS Code, CLI) rather than only Visual Studio.
  • Mention and provide links to cross-platform installation and usage guides for required tools (e.g., Azure Functions Core Tools, .NET SDK) for all supported OSes.
  • Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, note any differences for non-Windows users or provide alternative visuals if needed.
