Summary
The documentation demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the C and C# sections, where Windows tools (Visual Studio) and Windows command prompts are assumed and described first. PowerShell is presented as the main scripting example for Windows, while Linux alternatives (like openssl for key derivation) are provided but often after Windows instructions. The initial orientation and prerequisites repeatedly reference Windows-based workstations and tools before mentioning Linux/macOS equivalents, and some steps (e.g., building with Visual Studio) are Windows-centric with only brief links to Linux setup guides. While Linux/macOS users can generally follow along, they must adapt or seek external documentation for parity.
Recommendations
- Present Linux/macOS instructions and examples alongside Windows, not after or as secondary.
- In C/C++ sections, provide explicit Linux build steps (e.g., using gcc/clang, makefiles, or CMake on Linux) and show sample output for Linux builds.
- Replace 'Windows command prompt' with 'terminal' or specify both Windows and Linux/macOS options for all commands.
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for all tool prerequisites (e.g., recommend VS Code or CLion for C/C++ development, and show installation commands for Linux package managers).
- For PowerShell scripts, provide equivalent bash scripts or Python snippets for Linux/macOS users.
- Avoid language like 'This tutorial is oriented toward a Windows-based workstation' unless absolutely necessary, and instead clarify cross-platform support.
- Ensure all SDK sample paths and commands are shown for both Windows and Linux/macOS (e.g., use '/' and '\' as appropriate, or show both).
