A simple example of uploading a file to S3 with .NET using a few lines of code.

For years I’ve been manually installing the .NET SDK on Linux. There is no automated way to remove them, but deleting everything and starting clean is very easy.

This post shows how to extract key-value pair from fields in a multi-page PDF with Textract.

Textract can do more than just extract plain text, it can also identify fields in a form and extract the key-value pairs. In this post, I’ll show how to use it to extract key-value pairs from a tax document.

Occasionally you need to extract text from an image. Amazon Textract makes this easy. In this post, I’ll show how to use it to extract text from a single image.

Amazon Polly can convert text to speech in a variety of voices. In this post, I’ll use it to read a file containing a dialogue from the play Julius Caesar where Cassius and Brutus discuss Caesar, using a different voice for each speaker.

Using Amazon Polly to convert text to speech is very easy, with a small .NET console application you can send the text to Amazon and play it on your computer.

While trying to use Rider on Linux, I hit these errors “load failed”, “MSBuild is required to load project ‘HelloLinux’ but it was not found”, and “MSBuild (Microsoft Build Engine) is required to load and build project ‘HelloLinux’”. If you got any of these, read on to find out how to fix them.

I spent some time attempting to find a way to execute unit tests on the Main and other methods within a console application using top-level statements, purely for the fun of it. It took longer than I had expected.
