Free SQL Server Learning Resources

As a learner I have got chance to know lots of free and precious SQL Server resources in last few months.

Like to share this list with friends in our community. Let me share my second list later (as I wanted to keep this list short).

Unknown is an ocean. If you think I have missed an important FREE learning resource, please forgive my innocence and share it in comments section.

Happy learning
