Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Visual Studio 2022 and its integrated tooling, which is only available on Windows. All examples, workflows, and screenshots assume the use of Visual Studio, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives like VS Code or CLI-based workflows. Package installation instructions use PowerShell syntax, and remote debugging is explicitly stated to only work on Windows. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity examples, making it difficult for non-Windows users to follow or complete the documented tasks.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for developing, running, and publishing Azure Functions using Visual Studio Code and Azure Functions Core Tools, which are cross-platform.
- Provide CLI-based examples for project creation, binding addition, and deployment, using Bash/zsh syntax alongside PowerShell.
- Include screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux/macOS environments, especially for tasks like managing app settings and debugging.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and suggest alternatives for Linux/macOS users (e.g., remote debugging via VS Code or CLI).
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform approaches are presented before or alongside Windows/Visual Studio-specific instructions.
