This
function($){ ... }
is an anonymous function. Because functions are first-class objects in
JavaScript, they can be treated just like any other object; which means that
you can immediately execute an anonymous function by doing this:
function($){ ... }(jQuery)
However, because of a quirk in JavaScript syntax, to be able to do this
properly, you need to put parentheses around the anonymous function, like
this:
(function($){ ... })(jQuery)
