Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias by focusing exclusively on ASP.NET Web Forms (.NET Framework), which is only supported on Windows. Visual Studio (Windows-only) is required, and all project setup instructions assume a Windows environment. While environment variable setup commands are provided for Windows Command Prompt, PowerShell, and (last) macOS/Linux, the overall workflow and prerequisites are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux-compatible alternatives for development or deployment.
Recommendations
  • Add a note at the beginning clarifying that ASP.NET Web Forms (.NET Framework) is Windows-only, and suggest .NET Core/ASP.NET Core for cross-platform scenarios.
  • Provide equivalent instructions for setting up and running a similar dynamic configuration sample using ASP.NET Core, which is cross-platform.
  • Include Linux/macOS-friendly IDE alternatives (e.g., Visual Studio Code, JetBrains Rider) and instructions for using the dotnet CLI where possible.
  • Reorder environment variable instructions to present Linux/macOS commands first or alongside Windows commands, rather than always after.
  • Where possible, highlight any differences or limitations for Linux/macOS users, and link to relevant cross-platform documentation.
