Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias in its quick-start instructions. When instructing users to create a new C# application, it lists 'cmd, PowerShell, or Bash' as possible console windows, but the order places Windows tools first. More importantly, all code and command-line examples use .NET (dotnet CLI) and C#, which are cross-platform but are more familiar to Windows users. There are no Linux- or macOS-specific instructions, nor are there any examples using Linux-native tools or scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash scripts) for subscribing to or consuming events. The documentation does not mention or demonstrate Linux-specific patterns or troubleshooting.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that all dotnet CLI commands and C# code are fully cross-platform and supported on Linux and macOS as well as Windows.
  • When listing console options, rotate or randomize the order, or explicitly say 'cmd, PowerShell (Windows), or Bash (Linux/macOS)'.
  • Provide at least one example using a Linux-native scripting language (e.g., Python) to consume messages from Azure Storage Queue, or link to such examples.
  • Include troubleshooting notes or tips for Linux users (e.g., installing dotnet SDK on Linux, permissions for Bash, etc.).
  • Consider adding a section or callout highlighting parity and support for Linux and macOS environments.
