Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias, primarily in the way it presents development and publishing workflows. Windows terminology ("command prompt") is used alongside "terminal" without explicit mention of Linux or macOS. Remote build is recommended for Windows users, and local build is discouraged on Windows, but there is little explicit guidance for Linux users. The documentation references Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools, which are cross-platform, but does not provide Linux-specific examples, terminal commands, or troubleshooting tips. There are no PowerShell-specific examples, but the overall pattern assumes a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention Linux and macOS in all references to 'terminal or command prompt', and provide example commands using bash/zsh where appropriate.
- Include Linux-specific troubleshooting tips, such as file permission issues, case sensitivity, or common dependency installation problems.
- When discussing publishing and build workflows, clarify which steps or recommendations apply to Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide parity in guidance.
- Add explicit examples of using Azure Functions Core Tools and CLI commands in a Linux shell environment.
- Where folder structures are shown, use generic or Linux-style paths (e.g., forward slashes) or provide both Windows and Linux path examples.
- Highlight any differences in behavior or requirements when developing and deploying from Linux/macOS versus Windows.
- Consider including a section or callout for Linux/macOS users with tips or known issues.
