Agree completely the Purple Book is the Bible! And yes, wait for the 2nd edition at this point as it's very close. They also just released version 2 of their Mastering DAX video class on SQLBI as well which I'm looking forward to going back over.
DAX patterns is amazing as well, but maybe easier to access via web and I'm sure that will be seeing a new edition soon.
I cant' stress enough how useful the Analyzing Data/Orange Book was for me personally. It was more of a high-level overview of best practices for constructing data models which was crucial for me coming from unrelated backgrounds.
