Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias. All instructions for project creation, package installation, and tooling are centered around Microsoft Visual Studio and PowerShell-based NuGet Package Manager Console, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives like Visual Studio Code, JetBrains Rider, or .NET CLI commands. Steps for installing NuGet packages exclusively use PowerShell syntax, and there are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or screenshots. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and using Visual Studio, creating friction for Linux/macOS users who typically use different tools and workflows.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and managing .NET projects using the .NET CLI (e.g., 'dotnet new console', 'dotnet add package ...'), which works on all platforms.
  • Include alternative tooling options such as Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider, and provide steps/screenshots for those environments.
  • Explicitly state that the quickstart works on Linux/macOS and provide any OS-specific notes (e.g., file paths, terminal commands).
  • Present CLI-based package installation commands before or alongside PowerShell/Visual Studio instructions.
  • Avoid assuming Visual Studio is the only supported IDE; clarify that any .NET Core-compatible IDE or editor can be used.
