I came across few useful JavaScript libraries, which are very handy to quickly add some jazzy effects on your website. If you ask: Why use a JavaScript library? I can do this in Photoshop! Simple answer is … not everyone knows how to use Photoshop and there is no reason to keep reformatting your graphic just because you want some special effects.

Ask not what framework can do for you, ask what you have to do for the framework.
When choosing a framework / library / API, don’t get caught up on initial jazz from the framework. I see many coworkers and friends jumping on the idea of using frame work because they saw partial demo or heard about the new technology. When choosing a framework / library / API, you should asses how much work you have to do to support the framework / library / API and NOT how much time you save because of the functionality offered by the framework / library / API.
