Rails 2.1 Caching Walkthrough
Rob Anderton has put together an easy-to-read walkthrough of some of the new caching features in Rails 2.1. One of the coolest new features is that Rails provides an abstraction to using the back-end caching features (whether ultimately provided by file stores or memcached):
# Write a string to the cache Rails.cache.write('test_key', 'test_value') => true # Read it back in Rails.cache.read('test_key') => 'test_value' # Delete the item Rails.cache.delete('test_key') => true
