Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows development environments, specifically Visual Studio on Windows. Windows is assumed as the default platform, with instructions, tooling, and examples (such as vcpkg installation, file paths, and project templates) tailored for Windows. Linux development is mentioned only as a target for containers, not as a development environment, and Linux/macOS equivalents for key steps (e.g., vcpkg setup, Visual Studio alternatives, file locations) are missing or relegated to secondary status. The use of Windows-specific tools and paths (e.g., .bat files, %userprofile%) further reinforces this bias.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions for setting up the development environment on Linux and macOS, including installation of Visual Studio alternatives (e.g., VS Code) and required extensions.
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for vcpkg installation and usage (e.g., bootstrap-vcpkg.sh, x64-linux triplet).
- Include Linux/macOS file paths and project template locations alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and offer alternative workflows for Linux/macOS users, especially for project creation and debugging.
- Reorder examples so that Linux and Windows are presented equally, or use tabs/pivots to let users select their OS.
- Highlight cross-platform CLI tools and workflows where possible, and avoid assuming Windows as the default development OS.
