@ImkeF - I know this is a question for you - and anyone else who might have some ideas.
I put it on the forum in case someone else would be interested in the info also.
What resources, books, etc... would you recommend for learning M? Some of my reports I can use DAX and it be just fine, but as you know - there are others that require M - and have requirements that DAX can't meet.
My reports are only getting harder - so I figured it was time to bite the bullet and start teaching myself M. 🙂 Any thoughts?
EDIT: this was the only book I've found so far - but I wanted to get your recommendations first before I just start buying books.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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 🙂

Nice compilation 🙂 Many thanks!
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
