Is the Northwind Starter Kit from Codeplex a good starting point to learn more about how to best architect an ASP.NET application?

Is there something similar for the AdventureWorks database examples?

AdventureWorks database is the one that I prefer since it has a lot of advanced scenarios and is used in the samples for SQL Server Analysis Service. Analysis service is MS Business Intelligence Platform and it need to have a good amount of data for explaining the scenarios.

AdventureWorks is more advanced, true, but in my experience in the "real world" most companies databases seem to be more like Northwind than AdventureWorks; I've never seen a real-world database as heavily normalized as AdventureWorks.
