Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias by exclusively providing instructions and screenshots for Visual Studio on Windows, requiring the use of Windows as the operating system for the Function App, and omitting any guidance for Linux or cross-platform development environments. There are no examples or instructions for developing, running, or publishing Azure Functions using Linux, macOS, or cross-platform tools such as VS Code, Azure CLI, or the Azure Functions Core Tools.
Recommendations
  • Add parallel instructions for developing and publishing Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, and Azure Functions Core Tools.
  • Include guidance for creating Function Apps with Linux as the operating system, and clarify that Azure Functions can run on both Windows and Linux.
  • Provide examples and screenshots for Linux and macOS environments, including terminal commands for package installation and function deployment.
  • Mention and link to documentation for non-Windows development workflows early in the article, not just as a footnote.
  • Ensure that prerequisites and tooling sections highlight cross-platform options equally, rather than focusing solely on Visual Studio for Windows.
