Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE) is mentioned first and most frequently, with Visual Studio Code and command-line options listed after. Examples for installing packages are provided for Command Prompt and PowerShell, but there are no explicit Bash or Linux shell examples. The ReadyToRun publishing example uses a Windows runtime identifier (win-x86) without showing cross-platform equivalents. The section on Azure Functions Core Tools references the Windows installer (MSI) and Windows-specific paths, with no mention of Linux or macOS installation or file locations. There are no explicit Linux/macOS command-line or tooling examples, and Windows tools/patterns are referenced before or instead of cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide Bash/Linux/macOS equivalents for all command-line examples, including package installation and project setup.
- Include cross-platform runtime identifiers (e.g., linux-x64, osx-x64) in ReadyToRun and publishing examples, or show a table of common options.
- When listing development environments, alternate the order or explicitly state parity between Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and CLI, and provide equal depth of guidance for each.
- Reference cross-platform installation instructions for Azure Functions Core Tools, including npm and manual installation for Linux/macOS, and mention relevant file paths for non-Windows systems.
- Add explicit notes or callouts where behaviors or file locations differ between Windows and Linux/macOS.
- Ensure all tooling and workflow sections mention and show examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS users.
