Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows development environments and tooling. All examples and instructions assume the use of Visual Studio on Windows, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The tutorial exclusively uses Windows-specific technologies (WCF, .NET Framework, Visual Studio), and does not provide guidance for Linux users or alternative development environments. There are no Linux or macOS setup steps, nor any command-line or cross-platform tooling options. The use of Windows-specific project templates and instructions further reinforces this bias.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for setting up the development environment on Linux and macOS, including using Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider.
  • Provide .NET Core/.NET 6+ examples that run cross-platform, rather than .NET Framework-only code.
  • Include steps for using command-line tools (dotnet CLI) to create and run projects, in addition to Visual Studio GUI instructions.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to run the sample applications on Linux (e.g., using Ubuntu, Docker containers, or WSL).
  • Clarify which parts of the tutorial are Windows-specific and offer alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows platforms.
  • If WCF Relay is not supported on Linux, explicitly state this and suggest cross-platform alternatives (such as gRPC, REST APIs, or Azure Functions with Hybrid Connections).
