[Tilecache] A tilecache tutorial

[bradleyspencer]

Guys,

I understand the reason for static layers to be cached (interactive
performance) but I was wondering when I read the wiki that currently only OL
can access TileCache? If I was working in a GoogleMaps environment or VE
environment and wanted to get access to an external static layer that had
been TileCached would someone have to build an interface from these
environments to do so? This appears to me to introduce an interoperability
issue especially when I trying to avoid that by working in a open standards
(OGC) environment. Or have I missed something?

Cheers,

Thanks Chris -- I saw this on the GeoServer blog already, and was just
about to comment and say that it looked great.
