Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias in the 'Run a sample application' section, where build and run instructions are provided exclusively for Windows (Visual Studio, .exe, cmd shell). Linux/macOS build instructions are referenced only via external links and not shown inline. The initial setup steps and example outputs are Windows-centric, and there are no Linux/macOS terminal commands or build/run examples. This creates friction for non-Windows users, who must consult external resources to complete the task.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS build and run instructions inline, including commands for gcc/clang, make, and running the binary (e.g., './iothub_ll_telemetry_sample').
- Show example outputs for Linux/macOS environments.
- Present cross-platform instructions side-by-side or in tabs, rather than referencing Linux/macOS instructions externally.
- Avoid using Windows-specific terminology (e.g., Visual Studio command prompt) without Linux/macOS equivalents.
- Include troubleshooting tips for common Linux/macOS build issues.
