Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments. It exclusively references Visual Studio (Windows-only), .NET Core, and C# for all code samples and deployment instructions. Package installation uses 'dotnet' and 'powershell' commands, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or alternative editors. There are no Linux/macOS-specific setup or deployment instructions, nor any examples using cross-platform tools or languages. All screenshots and UI instructions are from the Azure Portal, which is cross-platform, but all local development assumes Windows tooling.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for setting up and deploying bots using cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) and command-line tools on Linux/macOS.
- Include examples for bot creation and deployment using Node.js/JavaScript or Python SDKs, which are more common on Linux/macOS.
- Provide package installation commands for Linux/macOS (e.g., using bash, not just powershell).
- Clarify that .NET Core and dotnet CLI are cross-platform, and provide explicit instructions for Linux/macOS users (e.g., installation links, troubleshooting tips).
- Add a section or callouts for Linux/macOS users highlighting any differences or additional steps required.
- Show deployment via Azure CLI or GitHub Actions, which are platform-agnostic, rather than relying solely on Visual Studio publishing.
