Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows and Visual Studio users, with all instructions and UI references tailored to the Windows version of Visual Studio. There are no CLI or cross-platform instructions for Linux or macOS users, and all examples assume the use of Visual Studio's GUI and PowerShell/NuGet Package Manager Console, which are primarily Windows-centric. While Azure Storage Explorer is mentioned as cross-platform, the rest of the workflow does not address Linux or macOS development environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions for developing and running Azure Functions using cross-platform tools such as Visual Studio Code or the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI.
  • Include examples of how to install required NuGet packages using the dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package ...'), which works on all platforms.
  • Add guidance for editing configuration files (like local.settings.json) manually or via CLI, rather than relying solely on Visual Studio UI dialogs.
  • Explicitly mention and link to Linux/macOS development guides where appropriate, or provide tabs for different OS instructions.
  • Clarify which steps are specific to Windows/Visual Studio and offer alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
