Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All code samples and project setup instructions are based on Visual Studio (Windows-only or Windows-first), and the .NET SDK is used exclusively. The prerequisite tools listed (Visual Studio, Azure Storage Explorer) are Windows-centric, and there are no examples or guidance for Linux or cross-platform development environments. No alternative instructions are provided for Linux users, such as using VS Code, the Azure CLI, or .NET Core on Linux/macOS.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users, such as using VS Code or JetBrains Rider instead of Visual Studio, and .NET Core SDK instead of .NET Framework.
  • Include command-line examples using Azure CLI or PowerShell Core (which is cross-platform), and show how to run the sample code on Linux/macOS.
  • Mention cross-platform alternatives for Azure Storage Explorer, or clarify its availability on Linux/macOS.
  • Add a section or callout at the start of the tutorial indicating that the steps can be performed on Linux/macOS, and provide links to relevant setup guides.
  • Where possible, use .NET 6+ (or .NET Core) for code samples to ensure cross-platform compatibility.
  • Explicitly state any Windows-only requirements, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for non-Windows users.
