Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio) and patterns before mentioning cross-platform or Linux alternatives. For example, instructions for changing the runtime version and local development begin with Visual Studio (Windows) before mentioning Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools, which are cross-platform. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples or instructions, and no mention of Linux command-line patterns or tools beyond the generic Azure Functions Core Tools reference.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux examples for changing runtime versions, such as using Azure CLI or editing settings via the portal on Linux-hosted apps.
  • Provide parity in local development instructions by including Linux-specific steps (e.g., using bash, zsh, or Linux file paths) alongside Windows/Visual Studio instructions.
  • Mention cross-platform tools (Azure Functions Core Tools, Visual Studio Code) before Windows-only tools (Visual Studio) to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Include troubleshooting or configuration notes relevant to Linux environments, such as permissions or environment variable differences.
  • Ensure that all code snippets and instructions are platform-agnostic or have variants for both Windows and Linux where differences exist.
