Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing Windows-centric tools (Visual Studio, PowerShell) before cross-platform or Linux-native alternatives, and by providing more detailed instructions and references for Windows-specific development environments. While the document does mention Linux and macOS support in several places and includes cross-platform tools like Visual Studio Code and Core Tools, Windows tools and patterns (such as Visual Studio and PowerShell) are often mentioned first or given more prominence. There are also more detailed instructions for changing settings in Visual Studio (a Windows-first IDE), and PowerShell is listed as a recommended HTTP test tool before Linux-native alternatives like curl.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux and macOS development environments are given equal prominence to Windows tools in all tables and lists (e.g., mention Visual Studio Code and CLI before or alongside Visual Studio).
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples where Windows-specific instructions are given (e.g., changing ports or settings in Visual Studio).
- When listing HTTP test tools, list cross-platform or Linux-native tools (such as curl or HTTPie) before or alongside Windows tools like PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS terminal usage and provide example commands where relevant, not just 'command prompt or terminal'.
- Where possible, include screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux/macOS environments, not just Windows/Visual Studio.
- Avoid assuming Visual Studio is the default or primary development environment; clarify that Visual Studio Code and CLI are first-class options on all platforms.
