Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell, setx) are mentioned first or exclusively in multiple sections. PowerShell is given as a primary example for package installation and role assignment, with Linux alternatives present but less emphasized. Visual Studio is listed as a required tool, with only a brief mention of Visual Studio Code for Linux/macOS users. Some instructions (e.g., setting environment variables) provide Windows-specific commands first and more detailed guidance for Windows users. There is a lack of parity in example ordering and tool recommendations, and some steps (like project setup) assume a Windows-centric workflow.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS examples alongside Windows examples in all sections, and present them with equal prominence.
  • List cross-platform tools (e.g., Visual Studio Code, JetBrains Rider) as alternatives to Visual Studio for project setup.
  • Avoid presenting Windows commands and tools first; alternate the order or present both together.
  • Include Bash and Azure CLI examples wherever PowerShell is used, and clarify which commands work on Linux/macOS.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements and alternatives for each step, especially for environment variable setup and package installation.
