Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio, and omits Linux-specific instructions or parity. All GUI instructions and screenshots are for Visual Studio on Windows, and there is no mention of Visual Studio Code, command-line editors, or Linux-specific workflows. The only alternative to Visual Studio is a brief mention of the .NET CLI for project creation, but subsequent steps (debugging, publishing, secret management) assume Visual Studio usage. There are no Linux or cross-platform publishing/deployment instructions, and all troubleshooting and tool references are Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Provide parallel instructions for Linux and macOS users, including using Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider, and command-line workflows.
- Include CLI-based steps for publishing to Azure (e.g., using 'dotnet publish' and 'az webapp deploy') instead of only Visual Studio GUI.
- Add Linux-specific notes for running and debugging the app (e.g., using 'dotnet run', browser access, and terminal debugging).
- Mention cross-platform secret management tools and workflows (e.g., 'dotnet user-secrets', environment variables).
- Include screenshots or descriptions for non-Windows environments where relevant.
- Explicitly state that the tutorial is cross-platform and highlight any differences or prerequisites for Linux/macOS.
