Essentially, anything that interacts with or manipulates the page must
be within the $(document).ready() function. This is considered a "best
practice" - the only alternative is to wrap your code in a
$(window).load( ... ), but that is highly un-optimal.

I'm not entirely sure what the page would discuss - considering that
$(document).ready() is in just about every jQuery example. In the end,
it's up the developer how they want to "wait for the DOM to load" -
jQuery just provides an incredibly simple, and efficient, means of
doing this.
I guess, could explain what you'd expect from a best practices page?
