Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows. Windows PowerShell is mentioned first and most prominently for creating and deploying Node.js applications, with Linux and Mac alternatives only briefly referenced. Retrieval of Azure connection strings is described using PowerShell and classic CLI, with no mention of Bash or cross-platform Azure CLI. The examples and instructions frequently reference Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WebMatrix), and do not provide equivalent Linux-focused guidance or examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and macOS-specific instructions and examples alongside Windows ones, including using Bash and Terminal for command-line operations.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of the cross-platform Azure CLI (az) for retrieving connection strings and managing Notification Hubs, rather than focusing on PowerShell and classic CLI.
  • Replace or supplement references to Windows-only tools (e.g., WebMatrix, PowerShell) with platform-neutral or Linux/macOS alternatives.
  • Ensure that all steps (application creation, deployment, management) have clear, tested instructions for Linux and macOS users.
  • Reorder examples so that Windows tools are not always listed first, or present all platforms equally.
