I took a few courses from Lynda.com to learn more css. It helped immensely and was free with my library card.

I think the key to building components like this id learning a few key tools in CSS. The first is Flexbox. Take a look at CSS Tricks' guide. You will give you the structure.

Then learn the position attribute thru and thru: absolute and relative will help you with pixel perfect tweaks like the vertical line and circles.

Make sure you have a mental model of the layout algorithm. If you add absolute to a div, how will its height and with change? What is the size and position of a div or span when height is specified?

what was the course name?

hey just saw this, sorry - I think I watched the most recent full course for CSS and then the 2 or 3 hour course on flexbox. As well I watched the start of a few courses on website design.
