Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, especially in the 'Set up your dev environment' section. Visual Studio for Windows is presented first and in more detail, while Visual Studio for Mac is described as lacking integration and requiring a workaround. Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell) are mentioned before their Linux/macOS equivalents. Azure PowerShell and Visual Studio Windows receive more prominent placement and explanation than cross-platform or Linux-native tools. There are no explicit Linux examples or mentions of Linux-specific development environments (e.g., JetBrains Rider, VS Code on Linux, Bash shell), and the guidance for Linux users is limited to using Azure CLI.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and instructions for Linux development environments, such as VS Code on Linux, JetBrains Rider, or command-line workflows using Bash.
  • Present cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, VS Code) before Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell) to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
  • Include instructions for signing in and configuring Microsoft Entra authentication on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI and VS Code are fully supported on Linux and macOS, and provide links to installation guides for those platforms.
  • Where Visual Studio for Windows is mentioned, also mention equivalent steps for Linux/macOS environments, or note any limitations.
  • Consider adding troubleshooting or FAQ entries specifically for Linux/macOS users.
