All of our code interacting with the cache is on the form
string key = “persons”
var cache = SimpleCache.Instance;
if(cache.Exists(key) && !HasExpired(Key)
{
return cache.Get(key);
}
else
{
int timeout_in_minutes = 5;
var persons = PersonDAO.GetAllPersons();
cache.Add(persons, timeout_in_minutes)
return persons;
}

So it’s pretty tedious code to write, but relatively short and sweet. somewhat easy to introduce errors in the cache logic (which really should be the cache’s responsibility after all)
I decided I would try to write one that would be easier to consume, and here is code
showing what I ended up with. The tests run as expected, I will leave it up to the reader
(if I indeed have any) to figure out how CacheFetch gets stuff done, I found it to be pretty
(yet a bit hard to grok) code that exemplifies the use of lambda-expressions and how a lambda
can access variables that were present where it was defined, in addition to those present (in the form of input params) where it is executed
