Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It assumes the development machine is Windows, provides Windows-specific installation steps (e.g., vcpkg with .bat files), and references Windows paths and tools (Visual Studio, Developer Command Prompt) throughout. Linux equivalents are rarely mentioned, and Linux development scenarios are treated as secondary or require using Windows with Docker Desktop. Examples and instructions for Linux users (e.g., installing vcpkg, using Visual Studio on Linux, or Linux-native workflows) are missing or only briefly referenced. The documentation prioritizes Windows tools and patterns, with little guidance for Linux developers.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux development environments, including installation steps for vcpkg and Azure IoT Edge Tools on Linux.
  • Provide Linux-native paths and commands alongside Windows examples (e.g., ~/.local/share/ for templates, bash scripts for vcpkg).
  • Clarify whether Visual Studio for Linux (or Visual Studio Code) can be used for equivalent workflows, and provide guidance for those tools.
  • Include Linux CLI commands and workflows for building, debugging, and deploying modules, not just Docker and Azure CLI steps.
  • Avoid assuming the development machine is Windows; structure prerequisites and steps so both Windows and Linux users are equally supported.
  • List Linux tools and patterns before or alongside Windows tools, rather than as an afterthought.
  • Provide troubleshooting and tips for common Linux-specific issues (e.g., Docker permissions, SSH debugging).
