70-562 Advanced Caching

Advanced Caching can create complex caching policies.


SqlCacheDependency, DataSource control support(gets data only when expired), Post Cache Substition.And mutliple caching configuration via web.config, like caching profiles, with different cache per folder.

If using the Asp.net development server in visual studio, caching can give weird results, in this case, start with a fresh session of the server by rightlicking it in the taskbar and hit stop to reset it.
The output cache being available programmaticaly, it's possible to change it at runtime. And the caching HttpCachePolicy is also accesible for controling cache at run time.
Response.Cache.SetCAchebility(...).

Objects and code are added with Insert and Add method of the cache object, it just neesd to be casted, just like using an application variable. The main requirement is to check that it exists first incase the cahe expired.
Add wont replace if it exists, and has a return value, while insert will always replace and wont give a reference.

It can use a priority, sliding timeout interval, or absolute expiration DateTime value, and priority decay.

A callback method can be specify once an object is removed from the cache.

A cacheCependency can be created on a folder and it will use the the cached one unless the folder changes.

As seen above, caching expiration doesn't have to always be based on a time value, it can also be based on other things going on in the environment.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

Rxjs Forkjoin vs Zip

These Rxjs combination operators are handy to make Rest calls in parallel and combine their results. Both take n observables and will return the results, with the difference that forkJoin will complete even if one of the nested observables errors of completes.

Object.create vs. Object.Assign

The two functions return a new Object but with a difference. Object.assign will go through an enumerable and copy it's properties. Object.create will create a new empty object but link it's proto chain to the old object. One way to view this is with JSON.stringify(newCreatedObject) this would return an empty object, since all the properties are not part of the object's own properties, but inherited through prototype inheritance. In both case, the advantage is it allows to extended existing objects without modifying the original. This is particularly important when receiving arguments from a caller, in this case it's better to use these methods instead of modifying the caller's object since he might have planned to use it again later, expecting it to be in it's original state.
