Summary:
The documentation generally aims for cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In several places, Windows terminology ("command prompt") is used before or instead of Linux equivalents ("terminal"), and Windows-specific recommendations are made (e.g., suggesting remote build for Windows users). Visual Studio Code is featured as the primary editor, which is cross-platform, but the language sometimes prioritizes Windows workflows. There are also references to Windows-specific behaviors in the Python standard library section. However, Linux is well represented in hosting and deployment, and explicit Linux-only requirements are called out.
Recommendations:
- Use 'terminal' as the primary term, with 'command prompt' as a secondary/parenthetical reference, to avoid Windows-first language.
- Wherever 'Visual Studio Code' is mentioned, clarify that it is cross-platform and suggest alternative editors for Linux users if relevant.
- When discussing build and deployment, avoid recommending remote build specifically for Windows users; instead, explain the pros and cons for both Windows and Linux.
- In the Python standard library section, clarify that standard libraries are available on both Windows and Linux, and avoid implying that Windows is the default.
- Add explicit Linux shell (bash/zsh) command examples alongside any Windows command prompt or PowerShell examples, especially in code blocks and setup instructions.
- Ensure that any references to tools (e.g., Azure Functions Core Tools) include installation and usage instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
