Summary
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, primarily through the use of Visual Studio Code as the main development environment, frequent references to the command palette (<kbd>F1</kbd>), and inclusion of PowerShell as a supported language. While Linux/macOS instructions are present for Python virtual environments, Windows-specific instructions (Windows Bash, Windows Cmd) are listed separately and prominently. The use of Azurite and Azure Functions Core Tools is cross-platform, but troubleshooting tips and some commands (e.g., 'func.exe host process', 'default terminal for Visual Studio Code isn't set to WSL Bash') are Windows-centric. PowerShell is treated as a first-class language, and Windows terminal patterns are referenced before or alongside Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux/macOS instructions are given equal prominence and clarity as Windows instructions throughout the documentation, not just in language-specific sections.
  • Add troubleshooting notes for Linux/macOS environments (e.g., permissions, common issues with Azurite or Core Tools on Linux).
  • Where possible, use OS-neutral terminology (e.g., 'terminal' instead of 'command prompt') and avoid referencing Windows-specific processes unless necessary.
  • Provide examples or screenshots for Linux/macOS workflows, especially for Visual Studio Code usage and Azurite integration.
  • Clarify that all tools (Azurite, Azure Functions Core Tools, azd) are cross-platform and provide installation links or instructions for Linux/macOS users.
  • Consider including Bash or shell script examples for automation, not just PowerShell.
