Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias by prioritizing Windows/Visual Studio workflows, using PowerShell and Windows-specific tools for critical steps (such as granting SQL permissions), and omitting explicit Linux/macOS command-line or tooling alternatives for key operations. Linux and cross-platform development environments are only briefly referenced, and there are no concrete examples or guidance for performing database permission steps from non-Windows systems.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/macOS alternatives for all steps, especially for granting SQL permissions (e.g., using sqlcmd on Linux, Azure Data Studio, or cross-platform tools).
- Include examples using bash and cross-platform shells for all CLI operations, not just Azure CLI.
- Add a section or tab for Linux/macOS development environments, detailing how to configure and debug apps using VS Code or JetBrains Rider on those platforms.
- When mentioning Visual Studio, clarify that Visual Studio Code is cross-platform and provide parity in instructions.
- Avoid assuming PowerShell or Windows-only tools are available; always offer a cross-platform equivalent.
- For SQL permission steps, show how to use sqlcmd or Azure Data Studio on Linux/macOS, or provide T-SQL scripts that can be run from any platform.
