Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing exclusively on Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code workflows, both of which are most commonly associated with Windows environments. All step-by-step instructions, screenshots, and tool recommendations (e.g., Visual Studio, Azurite extension for VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools) are tailored to Windows users. There are no explicit instructions or examples for Linux (or macOS) users, such as command-line alternatives, Linux-specific installation steps, or screenshots from non-Windows environments. The use of Visual Studio (not available on Linux) as a primary workflow further reinforces the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux users, including terminal/command-line steps for creating, running, and debugging Durable Functions apps.
- Include installation instructions for Azure Functions Core Tools and .NET SDK on Linux (and macOS), with appropriate package manager commands (e.g., apt, yum, brew).
- Provide screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments to demonstrate parity.
- Mention and demonstrate the use of cross-platform editors (such as VS Code) in a way that highlights their use on Linux and macOS, not just Windows.
- Clarify which steps are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, and provide alternatives where necessary.
- If Visual Studio is referenced, note that it is Windows-only and suggest Visual Studio Code or command-line alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
