  <p>Can someone explain the following syntax that is used in the jQuery source files? I am learning jQuery and trying to dive into writing a jquery.ui.widget.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(function ($)
  {
      ... code ...
  } (jQuery));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>While I am using jQuery, this is really just a JavaScript question, I guess.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Craig</p>
