Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the deployment and connection steps. Windows/PowerShell instructions are present and given equal prominence to Linux/macOS, but Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell scripting and Set-Variable) are used. The prerequisites mention setting JAVA_HOME, which is more common on Windows, and the PowerShell SDK is referenced (though commented out). There is no explicit Linux example missing, but Windows instructions are provided and sometimes use Windows-centric terminology (e.g., 'command prompt'). Visual Studio Code is the only editor mentioned, which is cross-platform but more commonly associated with Windows workflows. The use of Azurite and Azure CLI is platform-neutral, but the scripting examples for retrieving keys are split into Linux/macOS (bash) and Windows (PowerShell), with the Windows example using PowerShell-specific constructs.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux/macOS examples are always provided alongside Windows/PowerShell examples, and consider listing Linux/macOS instructions first to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
- Where possible, use platform-neutral commands (e.g., Azure CLI, bash) and avoid PowerShell-specific constructs unless necessary.
- Clarify that Visual Studio Code and all tools are fully supported on Linux/macOS, and provide links to installation instructions for those platforms.
- If referencing environment variables (e.g., JAVA_HOME), provide instructions for setting them on both Windows and Linux/macOS.
- Consider adding explicit notes or pivots for Linux users, especially in sections where Windows terminology or tools are used.
- Review all code snippets and instructions to ensure Linux parity, and avoid assuming Windows as the default development environment.
