Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by consistently presenting Windows and PowerShell examples first and exclusively, especially in command-line instructions and project setup. Directory paths, shell commands, and cleanup steps use Windows conventions (e.g., C:\ paths, PowerShell cmdlets) without providing equivalent Linux/macOS examples. The use of PowerShell is assumed throughout, and there are no bash or Linux terminal instructions. Package references and environment variable configuration do mention Linux and macOS options, but practical usage steps and screenshots are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux/macOS users, including bash/zsh commands for directory creation, navigation, and cleanup.
  • Include Linux/macOS directory path conventions (e.g., /home/user/msBuildDemo) alongside Windows paths.
  • Show how to run MSBuild and dotnet CLI commands in Linux/macOS terminals, including installation prerequisites for those platforms.
  • Add tabs or sections for Linux/macOS in all step-by-step instructions, not just in package reference tables.
  • Offer cleanup instructions using Linux commands (e.g., rm -rf ~/msBuildDemo).
  • Clarify that Visual Studio Code and the Bicep extension are cross-platform, and provide guidance for installing them on Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure screenshots and sample outputs do not exclusively use Windows file paths.
