Summary
The tutorial is heavily focused on Windows development environments and tools, specifically Visual Studio and the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) REST programming model. All examples use C#/.NET Framework and Visual Studio, with instructions tailored to Windows workflows (e.g., 'Run as administrator', Solution Explorer, .NET Framework Console App). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided, and the documentation does not mention how to perform these steps on non-Windows systems or using cross-platform .NET (Core/5+).
Recommendations
  • Clarify early in the tutorial that the WCF REST programming model and WCF Relay are Windows-centric and require .NET Framework, which is only supported on Windows.
  • If possible, mention or link to cross-platform alternatives for Azure Relay (such as using .NET Core/.NET 5+ with Azure Relay SDK, or using REST APIs directly).
  • Provide guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Visual Studio Code with .NET Core if any part of the workflow is supported, or explicitly state that the tutorial is Windows-only.
  • Add a note in the prerequisites section about platform limitations and recommend alternatives for non-Windows users.
