Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Visual Studio for publishing the Azure Functions app, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives (such as VS Code, Azure Functions Core Tools, or CLI-based deployment). The instructions for running the sample data generator also assume a Windows environment (building and running a .exe), and there are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or alternatives provided. While the Azure CLI is used for infrastructure deployment (which is cross-platform), the overall workflow assumes a Windows development environment.
Recommendations:
- Provide instructions for publishing the Azure Functions app using cross-platform tools such as Azure Functions Core Tools, VS Code, or the Azure CLI, in addition to Visual Studio.
- Include guidance for building and running the WindTurbineDataGenerator on Linux/macOS (e.g., using dotnet CLI to build and run the project, rather than referencing the .exe).
- Explicitly mention that the sample project can be developed and deployed from Linux/macOS, and provide any necessary prerequisites or steps.
- Where screenshots or UI instructions are given, note any differences for non-Windows users or provide CLI alternatives.
- Ensure all code and deployment steps are platform-agnostic or provide parallel instructions for Linux/macOS users.
