I am trying to get started with S#arp Architecture, and I found some nice (short) videos at Dime Casts.NET:
Introdction to S#arp Architecture
Another look at Sharp Architecture- Validation, Design Decisions and Automapping
Taking a look at how to modify the T4 templates used by Sharp Architecture
I’ll be looking at them and creating my own test project. Should be good :)
There should also be a good Northwind example available with the downloads from Google Code.
I came across this excellent book while surfing yesterday: Application Architecture Guide 2.0a. It seems to be very good, taking into consideration most of the aspects of an application Architecture. It has a "Fast Track" chapter that summarises different patterns and practices, and when to use what. This chapter has references to the other chapters if one needs to go deeper in.
Best of all: the book is free! The book can be downloaded as PDF from CodePlex: http://www.codeplex.com/AppArchGuide/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=20586
I just discovered that there is a presentation available that summarises much of the book: http://apparch.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17700
The book may be a little outdated with regards to the latest developments in O/RM (Entity Framework / NHibernate etc.) and maybe some other places as well, but it gives an excellent overview, and tries to be technology-agnostic.
