Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. Windows and Visual Studio are presented as the primary development environment, with explicit requirements for a Windows computer and Visual Studio 2019. The build and deployment instructions focus on Windows tools and workflows (Visual Studio, UWP, IIS), and the troubleshooting section addresses only Windows-specific issues. There are no instructions or examples for building or running the backend/API on Linux or macOS, nor any mention of Linux equivalents for Visual Studio or IIS. Linux/macOS users are referenced only in the context of iOS development, and even then, only for XCode and iOS SDK, not for backend development.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for building and running the backend/API on Linux/macOS, using .NET Core CLI (dotnet build, dotnet run) and alternative editors like VS Code.
- Provide deployment steps for Linux-based hosting environments (e.g., Azure App Service for Linux, Docker, Nginx, Apache).
- Include troubleshooting tips for common Linux/macOS issues (e.g., permissions, environment variables, .NET SDK installation).
- Present cross-platform instructions first, or in parallel, rather than Windows-first.
- Mention alternatives to IIS, such as Kestrel or Nginx, for local API hosting.
- Clarify that Visual Studio is optional and suggest VS Code or JetBrains Rider for Linux/macOS users.
