Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio (Windows-centric) is the only development environment mentioned, and all instructions for creating and running the Azure Functions app are tailored to Visual Studio. When setting environment variables, Windows command prompt and PowerShell examples are presented before Linux/macOS bash commands. There is no mention of cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) or Linux/macOS-specific development workflows. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tools and patterns throughout, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and running Azure Functions apps using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Present environment variable examples for Linux/macOS before or alongside Windows examples, not after.
  • Include explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users on installing prerequisites and running/debugging the function locally.
  • Reference cross-platform development workflows and tools where possible, rather than assuming Visual Studio on Windows.
  • Clarify that all code and configuration steps are applicable on Linux/macOS, and note any platform-specific differences.
