One of the biggest barriers to entry for data folks is the fact that custom visuals require a transition into web development. If you've used C#, TypeScript adds some features to JS you'll be familiar with but a solid understanding of JS will help a lot with stuff that isn't specific to the custom visuals SDK.

From a quick seach and overview, any of the following should get you into the basics:

As the custom visuals SDK utilises, Node.js, you might want to have a look at how that works in the solution too.
