Best Resource for learning M language?
I've put together some learning ressources on my website here: http://www.thebiccountant.com/learning-resources/
The book you've mentioned is very good in my eyes. It is best suited for the Excel-user, and espacially at the beginning tries to do as much as possible with the UI. So if you don't have a strong IT-background this is the best start in my eyes.
But it is different if you want to learn M as a language. This approach might better suit those who come from a more technical background. Then I'd recommend to start with the Quick Intro on MSDN or the video.
Apart from that: I can recommend anything on that page. The more you read the easier you understand :-)

Hi Imke,
thank you so much for putting together learning resources on your blog.
I was wondering if you are aware of any resources for beginners who want to learn scripting in M from scratch? (very much like on Codecademy, Treehouse or Code.org) I've just read Rookie to Rockstar and M is for Data Monkey which are great resources for starters, both provide little insights into actually writing code in M though.
Thanks,
Rafael
I think this is the only best reference
