Are there any site that show good examples of web application styles? Form designs and layout styles?
"Coding is easy, getting it to look good thats hard"

A:
Depends on the direction you want to go, but a couple of VERY nice designs can be found on CSSMania and TemplateMonster.
One note on that: Getting good design and usability at the same time is an art in itself :) (google basically comes without any particular design and has its fair share of users)

Besides the many tutorials and examples on http://www.w3schools.com/ ?
There is always http://www.csszengarden.com/ that shows how you can manipulate the content of your web page just by altering the style sheet.
You can find a large list of examples of form designs at:

Take a look at these articles:
- 10 Useful Web Application Interface Techniques
- 10 Useful Techniques to Improve Your User Interface Designs
They not only provide examples of good layouts, but explain why the layouts are good, and have tips and design ideas on how to make your web applications easy to use.
The first link focuses more on general points to make your layouts more user-friendly, whilst the second hones in more specific techniques to improve your designs.
A List Apart also has a plethora of well-written articles related to design and content; the design section has a lot of articles that relate to layout and design.
