Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Windows-specific consoles (cmd, PowerShell) before Bash when describing where to run commands. All code examples use C#/.NET, which is cross-platform but traditionally associated with Windows. There are no Linux-specific instructions, troubleshooting tips, or examples (e.g., using Linux mail tools or .NET on Linux). The documentation does not mention Linux-specific considerations for .NET or SMTP usage.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention Linux and macOS as supported platforms for .NET and Azure Communication Services.
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific instructions for installing .NET Core, including package manager commands (e.g., apt, yum, brew).
- Include example terminal commands using Bash and clarify that all commands work on Linux/macOS as well as Windows.
- Add troubleshooting notes for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., firewall, SSL/TLS, permissions).
- Consider including alternative code examples using platform-agnostic tools (e.g., Python's smtplib, sendmail) to demonstrate SMTP usage outside of .NET.
