Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and patterns (Visual Studio, MSI installer, Windows paths) are mentioned before or exclusively compared to Linux equivalents; command examples are provided for Windows (cmd, PowerShell) but not for bash or Linux shells; references to Windows-specific dependencies (WindowsAzure.Storage) and file paths (e.g., %USERPROFILE%) are present; and ReadyToRun publishing is shown only for Windows targets. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS examples, instructions, or parity in tool usage and environment setup.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, especially for command-line operations, environment setup, and project publishing.
  • Provide bash/zsh command examples for package installation and Azure Functions Core Tools usage, not just cmd/PowerShell.
  • Include Linux/macOS file paths and environment variable references (e.g., $HOME/.local/Azure.Functions.Cli) where Windows paths are mentioned.
  • Show ReadyToRun publishing examples for Linux (e.g., <RuntimeIdentifier>linux-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>) and discuss cross-platform deployment considerations.
  • Mention cross-platform editors (e.g., JetBrains Rider) and clarify Visual Studio Code usage on Linux/macOS.
  • Review dependency references (e.g., WindowsAzure.Storage) and clarify their applicability or alternatives for non-Windows environments.
