Windows First
Powershell Heavy
Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio and the .NET Framework, which are primarily Windows-based. Windows-specific tools and workflows (e.g., Visual Studio, Windows Command Prompt, PowerShell) are mentioned first and in detail. While Linux/macOS environment variable commands are included, they are always listed last and lack parity in development environment guidance (e.g., no mention of cross-platform .NET Core, VS Code, or Mono). The tutorial assumes the use of Windows throughout, with no Linux-specific or cross-platform development instructions.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions for developing and running the sample on Linux and macOS, such as using Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider, and .NET Core/Mono where possible.
- List Linux/macOS commands before or alongside Windows commands to avoid 'windows_first' ordering.
- Include guidance for setting up and running ASP.NET applications on Linux (e.g., using Mono or .NET Core if applicable), or explicitly state Windows-only limitations.
- Mention and provide examples for cross-platform CLI tools (e.g., dotnet CLI) instead of or in addition to Visual Studio GUI steps.
- Clarify any Windows-only requirements up front, and suggest alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows users.
