Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-based environments first, providing detailed instructions for Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell), and using Windows command prompts as the default for most programming language pivots. Linux alternatives are mentioned but often as secondary options or with less detail. Some sections (especially C development) are heavily oriented toward Visual Studio and Windows workflows, with Linux instructions relegated to external links or brief notes. PowerShell is given as the main scripting example for Windows, while Linux uses openssl/bash, but the Windows example appears before the Linux one. The overall structure and language reinforce Windows as the primary platform, with Linux support presented as an afterthought.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions with equal prominence, ideally side-by-side or in parallel tabs.
- For each programming language, provide explicit Linux setup and build instructions (e.g., using gcc/make for C, mono for C#, bash for scripting) within the main documentation, not just in external links.
- Avoid phrases like 'This tutorial is oriented toward a Windows-based workstation' and instead state cross-platform compatibility up front.
- Include Linux-first or at least Linux-equal examples for command-line operations, environment setup, and SDK usage.
- Reference Linux tools (e.g., gcc, g++, make, bash, openssl) with the same level of detail as Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell).
- Ensure that screenshots, sample outputs, and code snippets reflect both Windows and Linux environments.
- Where possible, use platform-neutral commands (e.g., Azure CLI, Python, Node.js) and clarify any OS-specific differences.
