23,932 PointsjQuery under the Hood...
It would be nice to see what jQuery is doing under the hood. Is there a website where we can see the actual code jQuery is performing under the hood?
For example,
I understand how to use jQuery's $.get() function, but all we seem to be doing is plugging parameters into the function. For me personally, while I know how to use the function, I don't understand why it behaves the way it does.
It would be helpful to see the code that the developer created.

Just go to the jQuery download page and get the uncompressed developer version if you want to look it over.
It's a bit of a read, though — the current version (3.2.1) is slightly over 10,000 lines of code.
