3.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best MDS book available, but more content and guidance is needed

Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

I found the opening chapters quite good. However as I read further in the book, it seemed like it turned into a "click here" catalog. I found myself engaging in exercises without really understanding _why_ I was doing so. While I do think it's valuable to have exercises to expose the capabilities of the product, with a book like this, I look as much for concepts and "why" behind the product. It seemed like the author started in that direction and then backed off from the higher-level conceptual stuff somewhat in favor of a features walk-through.

I have deep expertise in SQL Server and Business Intelligence tools. This is a good book, and I recommend it, but I was definitely hoping for (and expecting) more. I would give 3.5 stars if 1/2 stars were allowed.
