Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on development using Visual Studio 2022, a Windows-centric IDE, with all examples and workflows assuming use of Visual Studio and its integrated tools. There are no instructions or examples for developing Azure Functions on Linux or macOS, nor for using cross-platform tools like VS Code or CLI workflows. Package installation is shown only with PowerShell commands, and remote debugging is explicitly stated as only supported on Windows. The use of Windows-specific dialogs, screenshots, and terminology further reinforces the Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for developing Azure Functions using VS Code and Azure Functions Core Tools on Linux and macOS.
- Include CLI-based workflows for project creation, binding addition, and publishing, using Bash and cross-platform commands.
- Provide screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux/macOS environments, including file management and configuration steps.
- Document remote debugging and monitoring options available for Linux-hosted function apps, or clarify platform limitations.
- Present PowerShell and Bash/NPM examples side by side for package installation and other commands.
- Explicitly mention platform support and limitations at the start of the article, and link to Linux/macOS guides where available.
