Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio 2022 and PowerShell-based workflows. All setup, package installation, and deployment instructions assume the use of Visual Studio on Windows, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Package installation is demonstrated exclusively with PowerShell commands in the Package Manager Console, and there are no examples for .NET CLI or other Linux-friendly tools. The use of Windows-centric UI instructions (menus, dialogs) and screenshots further reinforces this bias. There is no guidance for Linux or macOS users, nor any mention of alternative editors or command-line workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users, including setup steps using the .NET CLI (e.g., 'dotnet new', 'dotnet add package') instead of or alongside Visual Studio and PowerShell.
  • Provide examples for installing NuGet packages using the .NET CLI: 'dotnet add package <package-name> --version <version>' and clarify how to edit configuration files in non-Windows environments.
  • Include guidance for using cross-platform editors such as VS Code, and clarify which steps are specific to Visual Studio versus general .NET development.
  • Add screenshots or textual instructions for Azure portal interactions that are platform-agnostic.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and offer parity for Linux/macOS users wherever possible, including testing and deployment steps.
  • Mention any limitations or differences when running WebJobs SDK projects on Linux or macOS, and provide troubleshooting tips for those platforms.
