Series of Azure Databricks posts:

In the last two days we have focused on understanding Apache Spark through performance tuning and through troubleshooting. Both require some deeper understanding of Spark and Azure Databricks, but gives also a great insight to all who will need to improve performance and work with Spark.

Today, I would like to list couple of additional Learning material, documentation and any other additional resources for further exploration on Azure Databricks.
