Hi All,

I just started myself about a month ago. I started with a
great into book that covered many of the typical cubes and
task you will want to do. All around good into.

Step By Step Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services -
very well written.

Once you read that in my opinion you will see that the
next step is to learn the MDX language. For that I am now
reading and Fast Track to MDX. Is is co-authored by
Mosha - The guy who is actually responsible for the
Analysis Services product itself.

Just my opinion.
