Mike Bostock (creator of D3) has a bunch of great code examples on bl.ocks.org.
I would start with his General Update Pattern (the link below goes through 1-3), which is key to understanding D3 as binding data to SVG elements (hence the name Data-Driven Documents) and animating any transitions.
General Update Pattern: https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3808218 https://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3808218
Also the documentation is great, so check out the intro here:

btw, if you're using D3 purely for charting, expect a lot of work to get something that looks decent. There charting libraries that have taken care of the styling and add functions on top of D3 to make your life easier.
- cuchoi 9y agoThanks! Very useful.
- newbear 9y agoAre there d3 only jobs? Aside from NYTimes, who is using d3? Thanks
- asanwal 9y agoWe do at CB Insights (and we are hiring)
- davidjankoski 9y agoopen for applications from europe as well?
- akuji1993 9y agoWe are using d3 a lot at our startup to build dashboards displaying huge amounts of data for our clients. We're just a small german startup though. But d3 has high adoption through the field of data vis.
- davidjankoski 9y agoi have the same feeling that D3 related jobs are extremely sparse around here in europe (NL/DE).
- ci5er 9y agoAs niche consultant, we use a lot of D3+React for real-time dashboards (in the world of clinical informatics)
