Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Visual Studio 2022, a Windows-centric IDE, and describes workflows, dialogs, and features that are only available on Windows. All examples and instructions assume use of Visual Studio, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives like VS Code or CLI-based workflows. Package installation is shown only via the PowerShell-based Package Manager Console, and remote debugging is explicitly stated as supported only on Windows. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity notes.
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 package installation (e.g., using dotnet CLI and func CLI), alongside or before Visual Studio steps.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific notes for local development, debugging, and deployment, especially for remote debugging and app settings management.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and offer alternative workflows for non-Windows users.
- Show how to install NuGet packages using dotnet CLI (e.g., 'dotnet add package ...') in addition to PowerShell.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform approaches are presented before or alongside Windows/Visual Studio-specific instructions.
