Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio and Azure Cloud Service roles (web/worker roles), with step-by-step instructions and screenshots for Windows tools. There are no examples or guidance for developing or running the sample on Linux or macOS, nor are alternative cross-platform .NET development tools (such as VS Code or CLI) mentioned. The use of the Azure Compute Emulator and reliance on Visual Studio features further restricts the tutorial to Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for creating and running the sample using cross-platform .NET tools (e.g., .NET CLI, VS Code) on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and provide Linux/macOS alternatives where possible (e.g., environment variable setup, project creation).
  • Mention that Azure Cloud Service web/worker roles are primarily supported on Windows, but suggest alternatives for Linux users (such as Azure App Service, Azure Functions, or container-based deployment).
  • Provide guidance for running and debugging the application without the Azure Compute Emulator, which is Windows-only.
  • Include notes or links to cross-platform Service Bus samples.
