💡 In this lesson, you'll learn:
• How to structure a 3-stage particle behavior (burst, hover, implode)
• Why "dumb systems" + "plug-and-play modules" keep your codebase scalable
• Exponential decay math for smooth, frame-rate independent drag
• Vector distance, direction normalization, and arrival logic
• How to override particle properties (color, count) cleanly through data structures
How would you implement custom particle shapes (circles, images) in a data-driven system? Let me know your architectural ideas in the comments below!

![How To Use CSS3 Border Image Property [CSS tutorial]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vnODfFJTLGg/mqdefault.jpg "How To Use CSS3 Border Image Property [CSS tutorial]
In this quick CSS tutorial we will learn how to use CSS3 border image property. It allows us to replace border on HTML elements with custom images or with CSS gradient. It is fully responsive and you can easily make sure your border looks good even when resizing your website .It can be applied to any HTML element except for internal table elements such as tr, th and td.
