A single source of key resources, tutorials, case studies and many more is available here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/34621.power-bi-survival-guide.aspx 

Most of the links discussed above are also available on the same article. 

For me, most of these replies assume too much for a beginner (like me). And I'm someone who knows lots of script languages and is a power Excel formulas and pivot features user. I find free PBi information very fractured, incomplete, and often outdated.
