Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Visual Studio and Windows-centric development patterns for the backend (e.g., Solution Explorer, Properties window, 'Include In Project', 'Build Action: Embedded Resource'), and by instructing users to deploy to Azure Websites via Visual Studio's Publish workflow. There are no instructions or examples for performing equivalent tasks on Linux or macOS, such as using cross-platform .NET CLI tools, editing project files manually, or deploying via command line or Git. This could hinder users on non-Windows platforms from following the tutorial.
Recommendations
  • Provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using the .NET CLI (dotnet) to add resources, edit project files, and build/publish the backend.
  • Explain how to manually add embedded resources by editing the .csproj file, instead of relying solely on Visual Studio GUI steps.
  • Include deployment instructions using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Git-based deployment) rather than only Visual Studio's Publish dialog.
  • Clarify that Visual Studio steps are optional and provide parity for users developing on Linux or macOS.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'your IDE or editor') and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
