Summary
The documentation page exhibits several Windows biases. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is presented as the primary IDE, with detailed steps and screenshots for both .NET Core and .NET Framework. PowerShell instructions are included, but only for Windows, and PowerShell is recommended for Windows hosting, while Linux users are directed to use Azure CLI. The .NET Framework 4.8 workflow is exclusively Windows-based, with no Linux equivalent. Some steps (such as compressing/publishing with PowerShell) lack Linux shell alternatives. In several places, Windows is mentioned before Linux, and Windows-specific tools and patterns are more thoroughly documented.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) commands for steps currently shown only in PowerShell, such as compressing and publishing deployment artifacts.
  • Include explicit instructions and screenshots for using Visual Studio Code and CLI on Linux, especially for .NET Core workflows.
  • Clarify that .NET Framework is Windows-only, but ensure .NET Core/.NET instructions are fully cross-platform, with Linux-specific guidance where appropriate.
  • Avoid recommending Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell) as the default for cross-platform scenarios; present CLI/bash options first or equally.
  • Where screenshots or UI instructions are given for Windows, provide Linux equivalents (e.g., for Azure portal, VS Code on Linux).
  • Add notes or pivots for macOS users where relevant.
