Thank you! I have just bought the book 'The Data Warehouse Toolkit'. This was just what I was looking for.
That gives you understanding of data modeling, dimensions vs facts and how to structure database tables (or other data stores). Next read up on ETL system (how to get data into databases) and Hadoop (aggregating data among dimensions). At least for Hadoop there should be many online presentations and youtube videos. Lastly data visualization.
