Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows development environments. Visual Studio (Windows-only for .NET Framework) is the only IDE mentioned, and all project setup instructions assume use of Windows and Visual Studio. Environment variable setup instructions list Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell before Linux/macOS equivalents, and PowerShell examples are provided for both authentication methods. There are no Linux-specific development instructions, nor is Mono or cross-platform .NET mentioned as alternatives. The tutorial is for ASP.NET Web Forms (.NET Framework), which is not supported on Linux, but this limitation is not explicitly stated.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that ASP.NET Web Forms (.NET Framework) is Windows-only and not supported on Linux/macOS.
  • If possible, provide alternative instructions or links for cross-platform ASP.NET development (e.g., ASP.NET Core) and clarify platform limitations.
  • Mention Mono as a possible (though limited) way to run .NET Framework apps on Linux, with caveats.
  • List Linux/macOS environment variable commands before or alongside Windows commands to avoid Windows-first ordering.
  • Reduce reliance on Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) or provide parity instructions for Linux/macOS (e.g., using VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or CLI tools).
  • Add a section on developing and testing with cross-platform .NET (if applicable), or link to relevant cross-platform tutorials.
