Summary
The tutorial is heavily oriented toward Windows users, with all instructions and screenshots based on Visual Studio for Windows. Steps for publishing, configuring, and managing the app and database are exclusively described using Windows tools (Visual Studio, SQL Server Object Explorer, Package Manager Console, PowerShell/sqlcmd). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or alternative workflows provided, and Windows-specific options (e.g., 'Azure App Service (Windows)') are selected by default. This creates friction for developers using Linux or macOS, who cannot follow the tutorial as written.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions and screenshots for Visual Studio Code and/or CLI-based workflows (e.g., Azure CLI, dotnet CLI) that work on Linux/macOS.
  • Provide examples for publishing and managing the app using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, VS Code, GitHub Actions).
  • Include SQL connection and migration steps using platform-agnostic tools (e.g., Azure Data Studio, sqlcmd for Linux/macOS, or direct SQL scripts).
  • Mention and link to Linux/macOS setup guides for .NET development and Azure deployment.
  • Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-only and offer alternatives for other platforms.
