Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. Windows prerequisites (Visual Studio, Windows-specific instructions) are listed first and in detail, while Linux/macOS users are directed elsewhere. PowerShell and Windows command prompt examples are provided alongside Bash, but Visual Studio is the only IDE discussed for building and running the sample code. The SDK build and simulation steps are oriented toward Windows, with only a brief mention of Linux alternatives and no step-by-step Linux instructions. Windows tools and patterns (Visual Studio, cmd, PowerShell) are emphasized throughout.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific setup instructions directly in the tutorial, not just as a link to external documentation.
- Include step-by-step examples for building and running the Azure IoT C SDK on Linux (e.g., using gcc/clang, make, or CMake with Unix Makefiles).
- Show how to run the device simulation sample on Linux, including how to set up dependencies and run the sample from the terminal.
- Mention and demonstrate alternative IDEs (e.g., VS Code, CLion) or command-line workflows for non-Windows platforms.
- Present Bash/Linux commands before or alongside Windows/PowerShell commands, rather than after.
- Ensure troubleshooting and clean-up instructions include Linux CLI examples (e.g., az CLI from Bash, deleting resources from Linux).
