Summary:
The documentation provides only .NET (C#) code samples and references to Visual Studio and the dotnet CLI for package management, which are primarily associated with Windows development environments. There are no examples or instructions for Linux or cross-platform development environments, nor are there any mentions of Linux-specific tools or workflows. This creates a bias towards Windows and .NET developers, potentially excluding users on Linux or those using other languages/platforms.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent code samples in other supported languages (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript), especially those commonly used on Linux.
- Include instructions for installing SDK packages using cross-platform tools (e.g., pip for Python, npm for JavaScript, Maven/Gradle for Java).
- Mention and demonstrate authentication flows and environment variable setup on Linux/macOS (e.g., using bash shell, export commands, etc.).
- Clarify that the Azure.Identity library and SDKs are cross-platform, and provide explicit guidance for non-Windows environments.
- Avoid referencing only Windows-specific tools (like Visual Studio) or, if mentioned, provide alternatives for Linux (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider, command-line usage).
