Bias Analysis
Bias Types:

windows_first
⚠️
powershell_heavy

windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) is the only development environment mentioned, and all project creation and debugging instructions are tailored for Visual Studio users. In the environment variable setup section, Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell instructions are listed before Linux/macOS equivalents. There is also a reliance on Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., 'Press F5', Visual Studio dialogs, and screenshots). Linux and cross-platform alternatives (such as VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools CLI, or dotnet CLI) are not mentioned, and no Linux-specific troubleshooting or development guidance is provided.
Recommendations:
- Add instructions for creating and running Azure Functions projects using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code and the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
- Include Linux/macOS commands before or alongside Windows commands when setting environment variables, to avoid Windows-first ordering.
- Provide guidance for users developing on Linux/macOS, including screenshots and steps for those environments.
- Mention and link to cross-platform development workflows (e.g., using dotnet CLI, VS Code, or JetBrains Rider) in the prerequisites and throughout the quickstart.
- Clarify that Visual Studio is optional and highlight alternative editors and tools for non-Windows users.
