This is the gentlest introduction to d3 out there.

Run through the book and you will have a solid foundation to start playing around on your own for basic visualizations and charts.

d3 is not dependant on jquery and covers a lot of the same basic DOM manipulation. You also need to learn some super basic css to theme things.

D3 has some fairly extensive API documentation on GitHub, which I personally believe is pretty great. There are also links to various resources on d3 GitHub wiki and for extra measure I personally like to study Michael Bostocks' bl.ocks.org site for example visualization a with code samples.

Nothing beats thousands of example implementations written by the creator of d3 himself.
