Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows command prompt and PowerShell instructions before macOS and Linux equivalents, and by referencing Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Visual Studio Code as 'available on Windows, macOS, and Linux' but with a subtle Windows-first tone). The example project is based on ASP.NET Core, which is cross-platform, but the build instructions and environment variable setup are presented in a way that prioritizes Windows users. There is also a reliance on MSBuild and .csproj scripting, which are more familiar to Windows developers.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and macOS instructions before or alongside Windows instructions, rather than after.
  • Include bash/zsh examples for scripting and environment variable setup, and highlight cross-platform compatibility.
  • Mention cross-platform editors and tools (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider) equally, without a Windows-first tone.
  • Clarify that MSBuild and .csproj scripting can be used on Linux and macOS with .NET Core SDK.
  • Add explicit notes or sections for CI/CD pipelines commonly used on Linux (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins) in addition to Azure DevOps.
  • Ensure all code snippets and commands are tested and presented for all supported platforms.
