I have no working experience in SSAS and want to start from the beginning really while it is quiet in work.
Found this - http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/server/94235/ and was wondering is this a good place to start or are there any better articles or stair was on here for SSAS using SQL 2012?
Thanks

SSAS is the Analysis part of the Microsoft BI stack (SSRS, SSIS and SSAS). Pre-2012 the only components were OLAP cubes (Dimensional model) and Data mining. In 2012 they included a "tabular" model which is an alternative to cubes.
The link you posted is good but, if you are just getting started with SSAS I suggest you skip data mining for now. That is certainly more complex.
The best book for learning SSAS is the "Step-by-Step" series but I don't think there is an SSAS 2012 step-by-step.
Do a google search for "ssas step by step" for some good links to start with.
Also, take a look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj735264.aspx
