Summary
The documentation page for the Azure WebJobs SDK demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. All file system examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., 'c:\data\import'), and there are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents shown. The documentation references Visual Studio tooling and .NET Framework before mentioning .NET Core, which is more cross-platform. There is no mention of Linux-specific considerations, nor are there examples of running WebJobs SDK on Linux or using Linux tools. The use of Windows-centric APIs like ServicePointManager and WinHttpHandler is described without alternatives for Linux environments. Overall, the documentation assumes a Windows development environment and omits Linux parity in examples and tooling references.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux and cross-platform examples alongside Windows examples, especially for file paths (e.g., '/home/user/data/import').
  • Explicitly mention that the SDK and examples work on Linux and macOS, and describe any platform-specific considerations.
  • Include instructions and examples for running WebJobs SDK projects on Linux (e.g., using VS Code, CLI, or Docker), not just Visual Studio on Windows.
  • Reference cross-platform APIs and tools where possible, or clarify when a feature is Windows-only.
  • Add notes or tables comparing Windows and Linux development workflows for WebJobs SDK, including environment variable configuration and file system access.
