Windows First
Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation exclusively provides .NET/C# code samples and instructions, which are platform-neutral at the code level but implicitly favor Windows environments by omitting any Linux-specific guidance, shell commands, or cross-platform considerations. All package installation examples use 'dotnet' CLI, which is available on Linux, but there are no explicit references to Linux environments, shell usage, or alternative patterns for Linux users. There is no mention of Powershell, but the documentation assumes a Windows-centric context by focusing on ASP.NET and .NET Core without acknowledging Linux deployment scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit notes confirming that all instructions and code samples work on Linux as well as Windows.
- Include Linux-specific examples, such as using bash/zsh to set environment variables (e.g., 'export AppConfigurationEndpoint=...') alongside Windows examples.
- Mention Linux deployment scenarios (e.g., running .NET apps on Ubuntu, Docker containers, or Azure App Service for Linux) and provide links to relevant documentation.
- Clarify that the 'dotnet' CLI commands are cross-platform and provide troubleshooting tips for common Linux issues (e.g., file permissions, environment variable case sensitivity).
- Where environment variables are referenced, show both Windows (set) and Linux (export) syntax.
