Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows and Visual Studio (Windows) workflows, providing PowerShell and sqlcmd examples without Linux alternatives, and omitting explicit Linux/macOS development environment instructions for key steps such as database permission grants. Linux and cross-platform tooling are mentioned only in passing or as secondary options, and there are no bash or Linux-native SQL client examples for database administration.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line instructions, especially for database permission grants (e.g., using sqlcmd or Azure Data CLI on Linux).
- Include examples using bash and cross-platform SQL clients (such as sqlcmd on Linux, Azure Data CLI, or Python-based tools) alongside PowerShell.
- Reorganize sections so that cross-platform or Linux instructions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions, rather than after.
- Add a dedicated section or tab for Linux/macOS development environments, covering setup, authentication, and debugging workflows.
- Ensure all tooling recommendations (e.g., for Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell) are presented with parity for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
