Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows prerequisites and Visual Studio are presented first and in detail, with only a brief reference to Linux/macOS setup via an external link. The development environment setup and device simulation instructions are heavily oriented toward Windows and Visual Studio, with Linux instructions relegated to a different tutorial. PowerShell examples are provided alongside Bash, but Windows tooling (Visual Studio, command prompt) is emphasized throughout, and Linux alternatives are not shown inline.
Recommendations
- Include Linux/macOS prerequisites and setup steps inline, not just as a link.
- Provide step-by-step instructions for building and running the Azure IoT C SDK on Linux/macOS, using GCC/Clang and common editors (e.g., VS Code).
- Show how to simulate devices on Linux, including compiling and running the sample without Visual Studio.
- Present Bash/Linux examples before or alongside Windows/PowerShell examples, not after.
- Clarify which steps are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific.
- Add troubleshooting and cleanup instructions for Linux/macOS users.
