1) 3 or N-tier is not tied to web programming. You can use it for desktop applications too and I think that is one of the reasons N-tier development is preferred over single tier. A common N-tier approach is 5-Tier (where it could be seen as 3-tier combining parts of it):
Presentation, UI, Business, Data Access, Data Storage. You may think of Presantatio+UI as a single tier (or layer). That layer is the one that changes between a web application or windows/mobile device application.
2) There are tons of samples on the internet. You may for example check:
