Summary
The documentation demonstrates mild Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, func.exe) and terminology are referenced throughout, sometimes before or instead of Linux equivalents. Examples for command-line usage are generally cross-platform, but some sections (such as cURL usage) provide Windows command line syntax before or alongside Bash, and references to func.exe and MSI installers are Windows-centric. The requirement for Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI is mentioned, but PowerShell is listed first. There is no explicit mention of Linux-specific shell environments or package managers (e.g., apt, yum) for installation, and some instructions (such as MSI uninstall) are Windows-only. The documentation does not provide Linux-specific troubleshooting or highlight differences in behavior between platforms.
Recommendations
- Ensure all command examples are shown for both Bash (Linux/macOS) and Windows CMD/PowerShell, with clear labeling and parity.
- When referencing installation or upgrade methods, include Linux/macOS package managers (apt, yum, brew, npm) and instructions, not just MSI for Windows.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology (e.g., func.exe) when referring to cross-platform tools; use 'func' or 'Functions host' instead.
- List Azure CLI before Azure PowerShell, or mention both together, as CLI is more platform-neutral.
- Add troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS environments, especially for common issues (permissions, path, virtual environments).
- Explicitly state platform compatibility and any differences in behavior or requirements between Windows, Linux, and macOS.
