Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, MSI installer paths, Windows environment variable paths) are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections. Command-line examples are provided for Windows (cmd, PowerShell), but Linux/macOS equivalents (bash, zsh, etc.) are missing or referenced only indirectly. ReadyToRun publishing is shown with a Windows runtime identifier, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents. The use of Windows paths and references to WindowsAzure.Storage further reinforce the bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS examples for command-line operations, including package installation and usage of Azure Functions Core Tools.
  • Include bash/zsh equivalents for package installation commands (e.g., dotnet CLI, npm) alongside cmd and PowerShell.
  • Show ReadyToRun publishing examples for Linux (e.g., linux-x64) and macOS (e.g., osx-x64) in addition to Windows.
  • Mention cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) and CLI workflows before or alongside Visual Studio.
  • Avoid Windows-specific environment variable paths (e.g., %USERPROFILE%\AppData...) without cross-platform alternatives.
  • Clarify that dependencies like WindowsAzure.Storage are compatible with non-Windows platforms, or provide alternatives if needed.
