I just might shoot you an email tomorrow!

(Winding down for the night now and don't want to open it up again...)

I have decided to plunk myself down and watch this youtube video in it's entirety over the next week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8V5o2UHG0E

I have had great experiences learning through freecodecamp in the past, and am thinking that perhaps the onslaught of a 13 hour video and a creeping progress bar might make it easier to digest.

The first 10 minutes have been great so far, and the comments are really encouraging.

Also finding this page was a real lifesaver https://github.com/d3/d3/wiki/Tutorials

I'm curious how you've been doing since then. I've been dabbling a little bit but I haven't found a really good guide or documentation.

I feel like most guides or tutorials are outdated or incomplete and it seems like documentation isn't very detailed. I think I understand the basics (create or select an SVG, add elements to it, apply attributes, etc) but lots of functions still leave me wondering what they do exactly and how I can change them to meet my needs. Curious what your experience has been and if you have any projects to show off.
