Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias by referencing 'windowscode' tabs in links for supported file types and CRON expressions across all language pivots, regardless of whether the example is Linux-based. The links such as [supported file types](webjobs-create.md?tabs=windowscode#acceptablefiles) and [CRON expressions](webjobs-create.md?tabs=windowscode#ncrontab-expressions) default to Windows-specific documentation, even when the rest of the instructions and code samples are Linux-oriented (using Bash scripts and Linux paths). There are no explicit PowerShell or Windows command-line examples, but the persistent use of 'windowscode' in documentation links may cause confusion or suggest Windows is the primary or preferred environment.
Recommendations:
- Update all links to supported file types and CRON expressions to use a neutral or Linux-appropriate tab (e.g., 'linuxcode' or a generic tab) when the language pivot is for Linux-based stacks.
- Ensure that referenced documentation and screenshots reflect the OS context of the current language pivot (e.g., show Linux file structures and tools for Python, Node, PHP, Java).
- Where possible, clarify in the documentation that the instructions and scripts are for Linux environments, and provide Windows equivalents only if relevant.
- Consider adding a short note explaining any OS-specific differences in WebJob packaging or execution, especially if users may be deploying to both Windows and Linux App Service plans.
