DAX Patterns is a list of common patterns to solve common problems.
When it comes to books I would like to recommend "Supercharge Power BI: Power BI Is Better When You Learn to Write DAX" by Matt Allington. It contains a lot of exercises that will help you solidify your learning. It is a great introduction to DAX.

The Definitive Guide to DAX is the DAX bible. Apparently a new edition is coming out in February 2019.
