When to put jQuery link in <head>?

In this video, Dave put jQuery link in <head> then added ready() method in js file. If putting the link at the end of the body is the best practice, when do we need to put jQuery link in <head>, and why?

Placing the script in the <head> tag and writing document.ready() is the same as placing the script at the bottom of the DOM, as far as I know. I suggest you look around on StackOverflow if you would like a more in-depth answer. /J
