Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. It consistently presents Windows-centric development patterns, such as using Visual Studio (Windows-only) and the Windows Classic Desktop project template as the primary workflow. All code/package installation examples use PowerShell commands, with no mention of Linux equivalents (e.g., bash, dotnet CLI, or cross-platform editors). The Azurite storage emulator is referenced without clarifying cross-platform usage, and there are no instructions for running or deploying WebJobs from Linux or macOS environments. Linux tools, editors, and workflows are either omitted or mentioned only as alternatives, with caveats.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux/macOS environments, including using Visual Studio Code and the dotnet CLI for project creation and package management.
  • Include bash or shell commands for installing NuGet packages, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clarify that Azurite is cross-platform and provide installation/running instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Offer guidance for running and deploying WebJobs from Linux/macOS, including any platform-specific considerations.
  • Present cross-platform workflows first or in parallel, rather than defaulting to Windows/Visual Studio.
  • Explicitly mention any limitations or differences when using Linux/macOS, and provide workarounds or alternatives.
