    If you code this: function something() {something}, it’s a declaration of a function, but it does not invoke the function (you’d have to run something() later on).

    So, to actually invoke the function, you need to do something like (function(){})(); … “!function($) {}” is sort of an alternative to the wrapping the entire function in parens. The exclamation mark syntax is a shortcut to writing that. “!” turns the line into an expression that returns true.
