Hi I'm new to jQuery and I would like to know the difference between:

$(function() { });

and

$(document).ready(function() { });

Thanks!!

The first notation : 

$(function(){ ... });

is short-hand for the second-choice :

$(document).ready(function(){ ... });

They will both do the exact same thing, however the first will just require slightly less code.

no difference - just different notation

    question was 'what is the difference'. – Aris Jul 26 '13 at 14:08
  • @Aris I agree. Though succinct, it does answer the question. That said, a reference to the documentation is always desirable. – Wiseguy Jul 26 '13 at 15:14
