Using CSS Position Absolute: some practical examples

A look at a few actual examples of using position absolute to make a nice looking, and responsive, card type component.

When I did my last video on CSS position relative vs absolute, a few people asked that I look at actual examples of it working, so I thought this would be a fun example. To make it even more fun, I look at a few neat tips and tricks that we can do with it as well. I probably go over the top here with different stuff, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to really explore some of the different things we can do with it.

For the most part, I use it position absolute on pseudo elements, )using relative positioning to keep my pseudo elements in the right place) since I'm usually using them as decorative elements, but I also look at how we can use it to put an image in the background as well.
