Being a big jQuery fan, I use jQuery.each method a lot in my Javascript code. Until recently I didn’t think too hard what jQuery.each really is. Its description says it’s an iterator but it certainly is NOT a true iterator. For example: Let me know what you expect the code below to return. Before I [...]

At work, I’ve implemented a queue monitor batch application. Due to business rule changes, it now needs to monitor two queues.
