Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell commands and tools (e.g., 'PowerShell commands to deploy the sample application'), listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio Code, PowerShell) in the prerequisites, and not providing explicit Linux/macOS equivalents or examples. The deployment instructions mention using PowerShell and command windows, which are primarily associated with Windows, without clarifying or providing alternatives for Linux/macOS users. There are no screenshots or CLI examples shown in a Linux terminal, and no mention of Bash or shell scripting. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows workflows and tools, and does not address platform-specific differences or provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions alongside Windows/PowerShell examples, including Bash equivalents for all CLI commands.
  • Clarify when PowerShell is required and offer alternatives (e.g., Bash, zsh) for non-Windows users.
  • Include screenshots of commands being run in Linux/macOS terminals as well as Windows command prompts.
  • List platform-agnostic tools first in prerequisites (e.g., Azure CLI, Git), and mention platform-specific installation guides for both Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid using 'command window' or 'PowerShell' generically; specify 'terminal' and provide examples for multiple platforms.
  • Add notes or tips for Linux/macOS users where workflows or commands differ.
