Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows development using Visual Studio, with all examples, instructions, and screenshots tailored to the Windows environment. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives for project creation, debugging, or publishing. The use of Visual Studio-specific features, dialogs, and tooling (such as Package Manager Console and PowerShell commands) further reinforces a Windows-centric approach. Remote debugging is explicitly stated as only supported on Windows, and there are no Linux or VS Code instructions provided.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for developing Azure Functions using VS Code and/or command-line tools on Linux and macOS.
- Provide cross-platform steps for project creation, dependency management (e.g., using dotnet CLI instead of Visual Studio dialogs), and local development.
- Include screenshots and workflow descriptions for Linux/macOS environments, such as using Azure Functions Core Tools and VS Code.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and suggest alternatives for non-Windows users.
- Offer remote debugging guidance for Linux-hosted function apps, or explicitly state limitations and workarounds.
- Replace or supplement PowerShell/Package Manager Console commands with dotnet CLI equivalents.
