Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions assume the use of Visual Studio (a Windows-centric IDE), and there is no mention of Linux or cross-platform development tools. Steps such as 'Run as administrator', project creation, NuGet package installation, and configuration are described exclusively using Windows/Visual Studio workflows. There are no alternative instructions or code samples for Linux users, nor any mention of how to use .NET Core/SDK CLI tools, which are cross-platform. The use of Windows-specific terminology and tools (e.g., Solution Explorer, Visual Studio, App.config, WindowsAzure.ServiceBus NuGet package) further reinforces the Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for using .NET Core/SDK CLI tools (dotnet new, dotnet add package, dotnet build) for project creation and package management, which work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Include examples and screenshots for popular Linux IDEs (e.g., VS Code) or command-line workflows.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific; provide Linux/macOS equivalents where possible.
- Mention that WCF is supported on .NET Framework (Windows-only) and clarify cross-platform alternatives (e.g., gRPC, ASP.NET Core Web APIs) for Linux users.
- Provide troubleshooting notes for running WCF services on Linux via Mono (if possible), or suggest alternatives for Linux environments.
- Avoid using Windows-centric language (e.g., 'Run as administrator') without offering Linux/macOS equivalents (e.g., 'use sudo').
