A bit late on the reply, but someone else mentioned observable HQ for lots of examples.
I found this YouTube video of someone walking through creating a bar chart helpful - the author explains as he goes:

Beyond that, copying and pasting working examples and trying to adjust them for your purposes works really well. I still don't fully understand the API but it doesn't seem to matter that much to start with - I'm still in the "monkey see, monkey do, monkey iterate" phase.
- vidyesh 3y agoI have tried ObservableHQ but I am not sure it helps me understand D3 as much as it does help me use it like a Jupyter notebook. And unlike Jupyter, ObservableHQ notebook does a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to creating charts for the web which outside that makes it really difficult to adapt to. I guess I will have to follow the monkey rule until I really understand it well and need to learn desperately.
