Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows is consistently mentioned first or exclusively in prerequisites and instructions, especially for C# and Java samples. The instructions for creating certificates and running code samples often specify using a 'Windows command prompt' or 'Windows-based machine,' with no explicit Linux equivalents or guidance. The Java section states 'This article uses Windows,' and certificate generation instructions rely on Git Bash, which is more common on Windows. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples, terminal commands, or troubleshooting notes, and the overall tone assumes a Windows development environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux instructions and examples for all programming languages, including terminal commands and environment setup.
  • Replace 'Windows command prompt' with 'command prompt or terminal' and clarify steps for both Windows and Linux.
  • Include notes or troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (e.g., file paths, permissions).
  • Ensure parity in tool recommendations (e.g., mention Bash, zsh, or other Linux shells alongside Git Bash).
  • Add screenshots or examples from Linux environments where applicable.
  • Review and update language to avoid assuming a Windows development environment by default.
