where can I find out more on a type of javascript syntax?

Question

What is this type of syntax called in javascript?

 (function(){})()

and this

  !function(){}()

I'd like to do a search to learn about them but I don't know what I'm searching for.

Also if anyone can provide link to a useful recourse that would be great.

Google for IIFE and SIFE. – thefourtheye Mar 28 '14 at 14:35 — thefourtheye, Mar 28 '14 at 14:35
