Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio and Azure Cloud Service roles, with all instructions, screenshots, and tooling references assuming a Windows OS. There are no Linux or cross-platform development instructions, nor are alternative tools (such as VS Code, CLI, or Docker) mentioned. The use of the Azure Compute Emulator and the requirement to run Visual Studio as administrator further reinforce the Windows-only focus.
Recommendations:
- Add parallel instructions and examples for developing and running the application on Linux and macOS, using cross-platform tools such as VS Code, .NET CLI, and Docker.
- Include steps for setting up the development environment on Linux (e.g., installing the .NET SDK, using the Azure CLI for resource management, and configuring environment variables).
- Replace or supplement Visual Studio-specific steps and screenshots with instructions for using VS Code or JetBrains Rider, and provide CLI commands for project creation, dependency management, and running the application.
- Document how to run and debug the application locally without the Azure Compute Emulator, which is Windows-only, possibly using Docker Compose or Azure Functions Core Tools.
- Ensure that all code snippets and configuration steps are OS-agnostic, and explicitly call out any platform-specific requirements or alternatives.
- Provide guidance on how to view logs and trace output on Linux, replacing references to Windows notification area and emulator UI with cross-platform solutions.
