Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by requiring Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) for publishing the Azure Functions app and running the sample generator, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives. All development and deployment steps involving code are described using Visual Studio, and there are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users (e.g., using VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools, or .NET CLI). The prerequisites and workflow assume a Windows environment, omitting Linux-native development tools and workflows.
Recommendations:
- Add instructions for publishing the Azure Functions app using cross-platform tools such as Azure Functions Core Tools and the .NET CLI, which work on Linux and macOS.
- Include examples for running the sample data generator using the .NET CLI (dotnet run) instead of only referencing the Windows .exe file.
- Mention and provide guidance for using Visual Studio Code as an alternative to Visual Studio, including relevant extensions for Azure Functions and C# development.
- Explicitly state that the tutorial can be completed on Linux and macOS, and provide any necessary setup steps for those platforms.
- Ensure that all code publishing, deployment, and sample running steps have Linux/macOS equivalents, and present them alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
