ASP.NET Web-Application Architectures / Patterns

Question

Does anybody knows good, short and slim tutorials, which describe actual/modern web-application architectures / patterns (especially for ASP.NET based (classic and MVC) applications (maybe also with embedded Silverlight components) ? How would you you design today an ASP.NET application which uses different datasources (databases, services,...) ? Background: I has been away a couple of years writing web applications, and I want to start now again. So at the moment I am a little bit unsure, how to take off and find the right starting point.

If you're interested in MVC I'd suggest starting out with the offical MS tutorials:
