Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. It instructs users to 'open a Command Prompt window' to install npm packages, and the sample output for running the receiver code uses a Windows-style command prompt path (e.g., 'C:\Self Study\Event Hubs\JavaScript>node receive.js'). There are no explicit Linux or macOS terminal instructions or examples, nor is there mention of cross-platform shell usage. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of setup or command-line instructions.
Recommendations
  • Replace 'open a Command Prompt window' with 'open a terminal window' or specify both Command Prompt (Windows) and terminal (Linux/macOS) options.
  • Provide example commands and sample outputs using both Windows (cmd.exe or PowerShell) and Linux/macOS (bash/zsh) environments.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific file paths in example outputs; use generic or cross-platform paths, or provide both Windows and Linux/macOS examples.
  • Explicitly state that the instructions work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and mention any OS-specific prerequisites or differences if applicable.
