Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a significant Windows bias. It exclusively uses Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) for all development, debugging, and publishing steps, and instructs users to select Windows as the operating system for the Function App. There are no examples or instructions for Linux or cross-platform development environments (such as VS Code, CLI, or other OS options). Package installation is shown only via the Visual Studio NuGet Package Manager Console (PowerShell-based), and publishing is demonstrated only through Visual Studio's GUI. The documentation does not mention or provide parity for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for developing and debugging Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
- Include examples for creating and publishing Azure Functions from Linux/macOS environments, using command-line tools (e.g., dotnet CLI, func CLI, az CLI).
- When describing the creation of a Function App, mention and show how to select Linux as the operating system, and clarify any differences in deployment or runtime.
- Provide package installation commands using dotnet CLI (dotnet add package ...) in addition to NuGet Package Manager Console.
- Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions are not exclusively tied to Windows/Visual Studio, or clearly mark them as one option among several.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, linking to relevant guides for non-Windows development environments.
