That area is fairly vast and as such you are unlikely to find one source that covers it all. You would need to take a look at:
Data Warehousing Sql Server Analysis Services MDX DMX DAX The recently added Tabular Model Powerpivot Integration Services and Reporting Services to name a few of it's moving parts.
If you are relationally minded, then you may find you have to "unlearn" a few ingrained ways of thinking to get your head around the data structures that underpin multi-dimensional databases.
The kimball methodology is common place in that arena so may be you can start by taking a look at his books on datawarehousing and work your up?
* The Data Warehouse Lifecycle Tookit * The Data Warehouse Toolkit * The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit
