Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/Visual Studio workflows, providing PowerShell and Windows-centric instructions, and omitting explicit Linux/macOS development and tooling examples. Visual Studio for Windows is described in detail, while Linux/macOS users are only briefly referenced via Azure CLI or Visual Studio Code, with no equivalent depth or troubleshooting guidance. PowerShell and Windows tools are used for database access and package management, and there are no explicit Bash or cross-platform alternatives for key steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS development environment setup instructions, including common editors (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider) and terminal workflows.
  • Offer Bash or cross-platform (e.g., sqlcmd via Docker, Azure Data Studio) alternatives for database access and management, not just PowerShell.
  • Include package management instructions using dotnet CLI (dotnet add package ...) in addition to or instead of PowerShell-based NuGet commands.
  • Ensure all code and command-line examples are presented for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, or clearly indicate cross-platform compatibility.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are given equal prominence, or group them under clear tabs/sections.
  • Add troubleshooting tips or notes relevant to Linux/macOS users, especially for authentication, connectivity, and tooling differences.
