Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows tools and workflows, such as Visual Studio and PowerShell, and by omitting Linux-specific or cross-platform alternatives in several key areas. Visual Studio is presented as the primary IDE, and PowerShell is used exclusively for resource cleanup, with no Bash or Azure CLI alternatives. While the .NET CLI instructions mention Bash, the overall guidance and screenshots are Windows-centric, and Linux/macOS users are not given equal consideration or examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS alternatives for all steps, especially for resource cleanup (e.g., show Azure CLI or Bash commands alongside PowerShell).
- Include screenshots or instructions for popular cross-platform editors (such as Visual Studio Code) and clarify that the .NET CLI works on all major operating systems.
- Avoid presenting Windows tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) before cross-platform options; instead, present them in parallel or clarify platform applicability.
- Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users, including package installation, environment setup, and any OS-specific considerations.
- Where possible, use Azure CLI commands for resource management, as these are cross-platform, and provide both PowerShell and Bash examples for shell commands.
