Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While most command-line instructions use cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure Functions Core Tools, .NET CLI) and are shown as Bash commands, the prerequisites and setup sections reference Windows or Windows-first resources. For example, the Azure Functions Core Tools prerequisite links to a page with Windows as the first tab, and there is no explicit mention or example of Linux-specific instructions or troubleshooting. The Azure Storage Emulator is mentioned as an option, but Azurite (the cross-platform emulator) is only referenced via a link, not directly in the instructions. No Linux-specific installation or usage guidance is provided.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux and macOS as supported platforms in the prerequisites.
  • Provide direct links to Linux/macOS installation instructions for Azure Functions Core Tools and .NET SDK, not just Windows.
  • When referencing storage emulators, mention Azurite as the default/cross-platform option, and provide a direct example of how to install and run it on Linux/macOS.
  • If there are any platform-specific caveats (e.g., file permissions, path separators), call them out in the relevant steps.
  • Consider adding a 'Platform notes' section or callouts for any steps that differ between Windows and Linux/macOS.
  • Ensure all screenshots and UI references are either platform-neutral or have Linux/macOS equivalents where applicable.
