Summary
The documentation generally uses cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, Azure Functions Core Tools) and provides language-specific instructions in a tabbed format, which is good for parity. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the storage emulator guidance: the only local storage emulator mentioned is the classic 'Storage Emulator', which is Windows-only. No mention is made of cross-platform alternatives like Azurite. Additionally, the note about browser compatibility specifically recommends Edge, a Microsoft browser, which may be perceived as a Windows-centric suggestion.
Recommendations
  • Mention and provide instructions for using Azurite (the cross-platform Azure Storage emulator) alongside or instead of the classic Windows-only Storage Emulator.
  • Clarify that all command-line instructions (Azure CLI, func) are cross-platform and work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • When referencing browser compatibility, avoid recommending a specific browser unless necessary, or provide a broader set of options (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) to avoid perceived bias.
  • Explicitly state that all steps and tools are supported on Linux and macOS as well as Windows, especially in the prerequisites and troubleshooting sections.
