Summary
The documentation provides platform-specific examples for several languages. For ASP.NET (classic), only a Windows-based workflow is shown, using Windows-specific tools (NuGet, MSBuild) and 'runs-on: windows-latest'. In contrast, all other stacks (ASP.NET Core, Java, Tomcat, Node.js, Python) use 'runs-on: ubuntu-latest' and cross-platform tools. There is no Linux-based example for classic ASP.NET, nor any mention of Mono or cross-platform build alternatives for .NET Framework. Windows tools and patterns (NuGet, MSBuild, Windows paths) are used exclusively for ASP.NET, and the Windows workflow is presented before Linux alternatives (which are missing for ASP.NET).
Recommendations
- Add a Linux-based example for classic ASP.NET, using Mono or other cross-platform build tools if possible.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives to NuGet and MSBuild for .NET Framework projects, or clarify their platform limitations.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for each workflow, so users know if Windows is required.
- Consider reordering or grouping examples so that Linux and Windows parity is clear for each language stack.
- For ASP.NET, provide guidance or links for building and deploying on Linux if supported, or explain why only Windows is shown.
