# Tutorials for SQL Server
[!INCLUDE[sqlserver](../includes/applies-to-version/sqlserver.md)]
[!INCLUDE[ssnoversion-md](../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] provides tutorials to help you learn new technologies and features. Tutorials for earlier versions can usually be used with more recent versions. When tutorials address a newer feature, they will indicate the minimum version to complete the tutorial.  
     
-   If a tutorial uses one of the [!INCLUDE[ssSampleDBCoShort](../includes/sssampledbcoshort-md.md)] databases, you should download and use the most recent version from CodePlex. For more information, see [AdventureWorks Databases and Scripts for SQL Server 2016 CTP3](https://github.com/microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/tag/adventureworks).    
-   Download a [!INCLUDE[ssGemini](../includes/ssgemini-md.md)] workbook and [!INCLUDE[ssCrescent](../includes/sscrescent-md.md)] reports to use with [!INCLUDE[ssCrescent](../includes/sscrescent-md.md)] tutorials, go to [Power View Samples for SQL Server 2012](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=220734).  
- Check out the new [Wide World Importers](../sample/world-wide-importers/wide-world-importers-documentation.md) sample available on the [sql-server-samples](https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples) GitHub repository.
