Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows. Visual Studio is the only development environment mentioned, and instructions for creating and running the function app are centered on Visual Studio. Environment variable setup lists Windows command prompt and PowerShell before Linux/macOS, and screenshots and debugging steps are Visual Studio-specific. There is no mention of cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) or Linux-native development workflows, nor are there CLI-based alternatives for creating and running the function app.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and running Azure Functions apps using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Provide Linux/macOS examples and workflows alongside Windows instructions, including screenshots and step-by-step guides.
  • List environment variable setup commands for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows commands to avoid ordering bias.
  • Include references to platform-agnostic development environments and clarify that Azure Functions development is supported on Linux/macOS.
  • Offer guidance for users who do not use Visual Studio, such as how to debug and run locally using CLI tools.
