Summary
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric tools and patterns (Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, Azure portal) are referenced throughout, with Visual Studio Code and Azure portal workflows described in detail. Powershell is included as a supported runtime, but there is no mention of Linux-specific shells (e.g., Bash) or Linux-native tools. The instructions for building and packaging projects do not differentiate between Windows and Linux environments, except for a brief note in the Python section about remote builds to avoid Windows-to-Linux issues. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash scripts), and no mention of Linux package managers or editors. Visual Studio Code is presented as a cross-platform tool, but its usage is described in a way that assumes familiarity with Windows conventions (e.g., F1, command palette). The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of alternative tools or workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/Bash command-line examples alongside Azure CLI and Powershell examples, especially for tasks like zipping files, managing folders, and running deployments.
  • Include notes or sections on using Linux-native editors (e.g., Vim, Emacs) and package managers (e.g., apt, yum) for setting up prerequisites.
  • When referencing Visual Studio Code, clarify cross-platform usage and provide instructions for Linux-specific keyboard shortcuts and shell integration.
  • Mention and provide examples for Linux-specific deployment scenarios, such as using Bash scripts for automation.
  • Where Powershell is referenced as a runtime, also mention Bash or other Linux shells if supported, or clarify platform limitations.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting and build instructions address common Linux-specific issues (e.g., file permissions, case sensitivity, line endings).
  • Review all examples and workflows to ensure that Linux users are not required to use Windows-only tools or patterns, and that Linux alternatives are presented with equal prominence.
