Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it does provide Azure CLI and cURL examples (which are cross-platform), it consistently references Windows-centric tools and workflows first, such as Visual Studio Code with .NET/C#, and provides detailed Azure PowerShell instructions. The PowerShell example is given equal prominence to the CLI example, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Visual Studio Code and the Azure portal, both of which are more commonly used on Windows. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions, troubleshooting tips, or alternative editors/IDEs mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS instructions or notes, especially for environment setup and tool installation.
  • Include examples using other popular languages and runtimes (such as Python or Node.js) that are commonly used on Linux.
  • Mention alternative editors (such as Vim, Emacs, or JetBrains IDEs) or at least clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform.
  • Provide troubleshooting tips for Linux users (e.g., file permissions, shell differences).
  • Clarify that both Azure CLI and cURL commands work natively on Linux/macOS, and provide any necessary adjustments (such as date command syntax differences).
  • Consider adding a section or callout for Linux users to ensure parity and inclusivity.
