Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, specifically Visual Studio on Windows. All instructions, screenshots, and tooling references are for Windows environments. There are no examples or guidance for Linux or cross-platform development (e.g., Visual Studio Code, CLI, or non-Windows deployment targets). The publishing workflow explicitly targets 'Azure Function App (Windows)', and all steps assume the use of Windows-based Visual Studio and related tools.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users, such as using Visual Studio Code or the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
- Include examples and screenshots for cross-platform tools, not just Visual Studio on Windows.
- Document how to publish to 'Azure Function App (Linux)' and clarify differences, if any, between Windows and Linux hosting.
- Reference and link to cross-platform development guides and tools (e.g., .NET CLI, VS Code extensions).
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows-specific features (e.g., F5 debugging in Visual Studio, Package Manager Console) and offer alternatives for other platforms.
- Clearly indicate when a step or tool is Windows-only, and provide alternatives where possible.
