Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All instructions for project creation, package installation, and tooling are centered around Visual Studio 2022 and the NuGet Package Manager Console (PowerShell-based), with no mention of cross-platform alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for Linux or macOS users, such as using the .NET CLI (dotnet commands) or VS Code. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and using Visual Studio, omitting guidance for developers on other platforms.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions for Linux and macOS users, including how to create and manage .NET projects using the dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet new console', 'dotnet add package').
- Include examples for installing NuGet packages via the command line (dotnet add package) instead of only via the Visual Studio Package Manager Console.
- Mention and provide guidance for using cross-platform editors like Visual Studio Code, including how to open, build, and run .NET projects.
- Clearly indicate that the steps are for Visual Studio on Windows, and provide alternative steps for users on other operating systems.
- Where screenshots or UI steps are shown, offer equivalent command-line or VS Code workflows.
- Explicitly state the OS-agnostic nature of .NET Core and encourage cross-platform usage.
