I think this could be a little more clear still - when you set an environment variable, don't you have to name the variable? Or are we saying that you should add your API key to your PATH? Either way, I think we could make it a bit more clear.

How about:
We advise against hard coding your SENDGRID_API_KEY in your application. Instead, please use an environment variable or Web.config or similar.

Line 65 is: "Once you have the SendGrid libraries properly referenced in your project, you can include calls..." What do they have to do to reference them in their project? |

@thinkingserious okay, I updated the Environment Variables section. Thanks for your suggestion! Any thoughts on my other comment? |
|
"Once you have the SendGrid libraries properly referenced in your project, you can include calls..." could be "Once you have the SendGrid libraries properly installed in your project, you can include calls..." |
|
Is there anything that users have to do to install and reference the project other than what's in the Install Package section? |
|
No |
|
okay, cool! that makes more sense then. I updated it - let me know if my update is accurate! Other than that, I didn't have anything else! |

Also, see my comment for two sections that I think could use clarification.
