Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and Visual Studio. All instructions for creating projects, managing NuGet packages, and authentication are given exclusively for Visual Studio, with no mention of Linux/macOS alternatives (such as VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or CLI workflows). NuGet installation commands are shown only for the Visual Studio Package Manager Console (PowerShell), and there are no examples using 'dotnet' CLI or cross-platform editors. The authentication flow assumes Visual Studio sign-in, which is not available on Linux/macOS. There is no guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to complete the quickstart.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for using the .NET CLI (e.g., 'dotnet new console', 'dotnet add package ...') for project creation and NuGet package installation.
  • Include guidance for using cross-platform editors such as VS Code or JetBrains Rider.
  • Provide authentication instructions for passwordless access using Azure CLI or environment variables, which work on all platforms.
  • Explicitly mention that the code samples work on Linux/macOS and provide steps for those environments.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so Windows/Visual Studio steps are not always first or exclusive.
