Viewing Source for a SalesForce App

If I want to look at an app's source code to see how it works, is that possible?

It depends...
 
Native AJAX Application = yes...most of these apps use either inline/referenced javascript or AJAX plus html. You can see all of the down and dirty code directly in the s-control code
 
Composite Application = maybe, it dependes on how much of the code is hosted on the author's own server. Even if they host the whole application, you may still be able to "view" the actual JS unless they've obsfucated it somehow.
 
You can easily install a saleforce built application and see how it works then just modify it as needed if your feeling "techie". Just be aware SF won't support it...if you break it...well you get the picture.
