Occasionally, I get stuck wondering what I should use to iterate over a list/collection of items in Javascript. There seem to be a hundred ways of achieving it. To tackle that and have a handy little reference, I'm writing this guide touching all the common ways of

When it comes to choosing a programming language, I am an **. I have to admit that. Nevertheless, let's talk about my new love, Javascript. When I first saw Javascript, it looked like a great language for client side scripting. Yes, a wonderful toy in the delicate hands of
