Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is presented first and in greatest detail, with extensive screenshots and step-by-step instructions. PowerShell instructions are included, but are explicitly recommended only for Windows hosting, and the PowerShell deployment workflow uses Windows-specific commands (e.g., Compress-Archive with backslashes). The .NET Framework 4.8 workflow is Windows-only. While cross-platform options (VS Code, CLI, Azure Portal) are provided, Windows tools and patterns are often mentioned first or exclusively, and Linux-specific guidance is sometimes relegated to notes or omitted (e.g., PowerShell section tells Linux users to use CLI instead). There are no explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for zipping/publishing, and some instructions (like file paths) use Windows conventions.
Recommendations
  • Present cross-platform (CLI, VS Code, Azure Portal) instructions before or alongside Windows/Visual Studio workflows.
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS shell examples for steps like zipping/publishing (e.g., use 'zip' command with forward slashes).
  • Clarify when instructions are Windows-only and offer Linux/macOS alternatives in the same section (not just as notes).
  • Include screenshots or references for Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
  • Avoid recommending PowerShell as the default unless the workflow is truly Windows-specific; otherwise, highlight CLI as the cross-platform default.
  • For .NET 10.0, emphasize its cross-platform nature and show parity in deployment steps for Linux/macOS users.
