Summary
The tutorial demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively referencing Visual Studio for publishing Azure Functions and running the sample application, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives such as VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools, or .NET CLI. All development and deployment steps assume a Windows environment, and there are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples. While Azure CLI is used for infrastructure deployment (which is cross-platform), the lack of Linux/macOS development guidance creates friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for publishing Azure Functions using VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools, or .NET CLI, which are cross-platform.
  • Include examples for running the sample application on Linux/macOS, such as using 'dotnet run' or building/running with .NET CLI.
  • Clarify that Visual Studio is optional and provide parity for Linux/macOS users in all development steps.
  • Mention prerequisites for Linux/macOS environments, such as .NET SDK installation and compatible editors.
