Here goes the story for starting this blog.
1.There is not much going on at work and the next release for my project is slated to start Novemeber mid so I have a lot of time to kill, so  i thought why not learn D3.js.
I currently work with QlikView and feel extremely frustrated at some of the limitations for the visualization we can do with it.
Took a look at D3. js charts by Mike Bostock and woah, I'm like I want to be able to create them from scratch.

Also my coding skills have gotten little rusty over the past two years and hence learning D3 as a ruse to sharpen them.
Started with CodeAcademy but i felt its okay for learning syntax and basics for JS,HTML and CSS.

I came across freecodecamp after that now Im totally absorbed doing these Bonfire challenges.

Feeling really bad that I didnt get to do such stuff in my Engineering.
Also i started learning Python with Coursera's Rice University Course but I get distracted really easily.

FreecodeCamp is working out good so far because i like to learn by doing stuff.

On the work front I still have loads to learn, but need to make time for it.
