Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows development environments and tools. It provides detailed instructions and screenshots for creating and running a .NET console application using Visual Studio, NuGet Package Manager Console, and C#, all of which are Windows-centric. There are no equivalent examples or explicit instructions for Linux or cross-platform environments (e.g., using .NET Core CLI, VS Code, or alternative package managers). The use of Windows-specific terminology and tools (e.g., 'Visual C# console application', 'Package Manager Console', 'F5 in Visual Studio') further reinforces this bias. Linux users are left without guidance for sending notifications from non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux and macOS users, such as using the .NET Core CLI (dotnet new console, dotnet add package) instead of Visual Studio-specific steps.
  • Include cross-platform code snippets and terminal commands for installing the Notification Hubs SDK and running the sample app.
  • Mention and illustrate the use of VS Code or JetBrains Rider as alternative IDEs that work on Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid Windows-specific language (e.g., 'press F5 in Visual Studio') or supplement it with cross-platform alternatives (e.g., 'run dotnet run in your terminal').
  • Add explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, especially in areas where the workflow differs from Windows.
  • Ensure screenshots and instructions for sending notifications from the Azure portal are platform-agnostic.
