Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
⚠️ powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio on Windows. All instructions, UI references, and publishing steps assume the use of Visual Studio 2022, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives such as Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, or command-line tools available on Linux/macOS. The publishing process explicitly targets 'Azure Function App (Windows)', and there are no examples or guidance for Linux users or those preferring non-Windows workflows.
Recommendations:
  • Provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users, such as using Visual Studio Code, Azure CLI, or the Azure Functions Core Tools.
  • Include command-line examples for project creation, dependency installation, and publishing that work on all platforms.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to use cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) and tools (e.g., dotnet CLI, func CLI) alongside or instead of Visual Studio.
  • Clarify that Azure Functions and API Management are cross-platform services, and show how to deploy to Linux-based Function Apps.
  • Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Windows and Linux/macOS workflows are presented equally, rather than Windows-first or Windows-only.
