This tutorial explains how to configure C# and .NET applications for Twilio by fetching configuration from multiple sources and merging them together. The author starts with an application that sends text messages using environment variables, then refactors it to fetch configuration from JSON files, user-secrets, environment variables, command-line arguments, and bind the configuration to strongly-typed objects using dependency injection following the options pattern. The tutorial also covers how to use the ConfigurationBuilder, swap configuration builder with the default host builder, and get configuration from dependency injection using the options pattern. Additionally, it discusses better authentication methods for Twilio, such as API Keys, and provides a more flexible and maintainable way of configuring .NET applications.
