Summary:
The documentation consistently references Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions tooling without specifying or demonstrating Linux-specific workflows. All instructions and links are oriented around Visual Studio Code, which, while cross-platform, is often associated with Windows, and there is no mention of Linux terminal usage, alternative editors, or command-line deployment methods. There are no explicit Linux or macOS examples, and the documentation assumes the use of GUI tools and workflows that may be less common on Linux.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit instructions for Linux users, such as using the Azure Functions Core Tools CLI for function creation, local testing, and deployment.
- Provide terminal-based examples for common tasks (e.g., running, deploying, and testing the function) using bash or zsh.
- Mention and link to Linux-specific prerequisites, such as package installation commands for Node.js and Azure Functions Core Tools on Ubuntu or other distributions.
- Clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform, and provide any Linux-specific caveats or setup steps.
- Offer alternative instructions for users who prefer not to use Visual Studio Code, such as using vim, nano, or other editors common on Linux.
