I'm working as a software engineer (mostly web, mostly backend). I've worked some years as a freelancer (now working at a part time job + contractor job) always working on the backend side.
I'm getting bored of this kind of job and I'm exploring data visualization. In my job (news media) my boss started to ask me to make some things with d3.js and I liked it, with the plus side that the "deliverable" is something people can see and if it's done well it could be easily shared and generate visits.
So I started to think about learning more about d3.js, build and show some things with it in my free time and then start looking for clients.
Anyone here already doing something like this? what do you think about it? what are your experiences?
