Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows and Visual Studio (Windows) workflows, providing PowerShell and SQLCMD (Windows-centric) instructions, and omitting explicit Linux/macOS development environment examples for key steps such as database permission granting and debugging. Linux equivalents, such as using sqlcmd on Linux or cross-platform editors like VS Code, are not given equal prominence or detail.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS instructions for all command-line steps, especially for connecting to Azure SQL Database (e.g., using sqlcmd on Linux/macOS, or Azure Data Studio).
  • Include examples for common Linux development environments (e.g., VS Code on Linux, JetBrains Rider) alongside Windows/Visual Studio.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell or Windows tools as the default; offer Bash and cross-platform CLI alternatives where possible.
  • Structure environment setup sections so that Windows and Linux/macOS instructions are presented in parallel tabs or sections, rather than Windows-first.
  • Clarify that all Azure CLI commands can be run from Bash on Linux/macOS, and provide troubleshooting notes for any OS-specific differences.
  • When referencing file paths or configuration files, use OS-agnostic language or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS path examples.
