Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Visual Studio for publishing the Azure Functions app and running the sample code, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives like VS Code or CLI-based deployment. All code publishing steps assume a Windows/Visual Studio environment, and there are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users. The prerequisites and workflow reinforce this bias by requiring Visual Studio and not offering parity for Linux development environments.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for publishing the Azure Functions app using cross-platform tools such as Azure Functions Core Tools (func CLI), VS Code, or Azure CLI.
  • Include examples for running the WindTurbineDataGenerator sample on Linux/macOS, such as using .NET CLI (dotnet run) instead of relying on Visual Studio.
  • Update prerequisites to mention cross-platform development environments (VS Code, .NET CLI) and provide links to relevant installation guides.
  • Ensure all steps that currently rely on Visual Studio have equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Explicitly state that the sample projects can be built and run on Linux/macOS, and provide troubleshooting tips for non-Windows platforms.
