Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias: all code samples use Windows-specific command syntax (cmd.exe), file paths use backslashes by default, and there are no Linux/bash equivalents provided. The only mention of Linux is a note telling users to change backslashes to forward slashes, without any actual Linux example. The code sample and workflow are centered around C#/.NET and Visual Studio, with no mention of cross-platform development tools or languages. The sample project is a Visual Studio solution, further reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent Linux/bash command examples for task commands (e.g., use bash shell syntax in addition to cmd.exe).
- Show file path examples using both Windows (\) and Linux (/) conventions, or use platform-agnostic path joining.
- Include code samples in at least one cross-platform language (e.g., Python) in addition to C#.
- Mention and demonstrate how to use cross-platform development tools (e.g., VS Code, CLI) rather than only Visual Studio.
- Explicitly document any platform-specific considerations (e.g., line endings, shell differences) and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux users.
- Reference and link to Linux-specific Azure Batch documentation or guides, if available.
