Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio Code is presented as the only supported editor, and instructions frequently reference Windows-specific patterns (such as <kbd>F1</kbd> and command palette usage). PowerShell is included as a first-class language, with examples and templates provided. The Python virtual environment section lists Windows instructions before Linux/macOS, and the Windows (Cmd) and Windows (bash) tabs are present, but Linux instructions are less prominent. The use of Azurite and Azure Storage extensions are cross-platform, but the troubleshooting note specifically references Windows and WSL Bash. There is little explicit mention of Linux-specific tools, and no alternative editors or shell environments are discussed.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Include troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS environments (e.g., permissions, shell compatibility) as well as Windows.
  • Add explicit instructions for running commands in Linux shells (e.g., bash, zsh) and clarify any differences.
  • Include examples for alternative editors or CLI-only workflows for users who do not use Visual Studio Code.
  • Ensure REST tool recommendations include popular Linux-native options (e.g., curl, httpie) alongside VS Code extensions.
  • Avoid language or steps that assume Windows as the default (e.g., references to func.exe, Windows-specific terminal issues).
