SPList Factory – singleton access to your lists.
A few months ago I was doing a refresher in GOF design patterns. I have a couple favorites: memento, observer, state, and the factory of course :-)
So I was trying to implement these patterns in a conceptual SPAL ( sp access layer ), and what I’ve found is that having a SPListWrapper object, and a factory to create them and allow static access is *the bees knees*, especially if you want to implement an ajax interface. Since you only load the list once, its pretty speedy too.
I absolutely love ajax and making the sharepoint interface more robust and seamless. Any interface for that matter. there is a library i use exclusively that covers all browsers and addresses the issues found in each of them, even the pesky ie memory leak.
What Im getting at is that I have a bunch of cool stuff to share that probably would become convoluted in a mass array of blog entries, so I think it would be worthwhile to vlog it. stay tuned, could take a few days while.
