Learning Links of Azure Development -(AZ-204)

Hello everyone, I am exploring the Azure development arena, so thought to develop a dictionary of all important Azure learning topics and corresponding links. I am sure this will help everyone who all are willing to extend their forte in Azure.

This dictionary will help to get all important Azure topics, sub-topics, and corresponding MS - Learn links. I have tied to cover maximum development concept that an Azure developer is supposed to know. This list is verbose and took a significant amount of time to develop.
