One of the talks that got me more excited about a product than any of the others. Oh how I wish we had the full 3 hours Chris mentioned he needed to go through all of the examples available. It was nice to see how simply it integrates with ZF (or really any framework), though there were hints at some underlying general 'quirkyness'.
The presentation itself was well given and I'm really looking forward to delving into ExtJS.
Not really hands-on, but lot's of information on the topic with lot's of live (working) demos.
I enjoyed it very much and i think that more hands-on examples would have limited the material we saw.
Try not to be so nervous in the beginning. :)
@Thijs van der Meer: As I said in the talk, the article published by Martin Fowler is really good as a starting point and sort of THE DI reference, I think:

Great talk!
After your talk i've cloned the skeleton application, checked the issues available on GitHub and hopefully fixed one :-)
Your slide could be better. Prevent going online and having to scroll into the php code.
Interesting but quite difficult topic.
This is exactly how a keynote should be: provocative, grasping the bigger picture. Lots of humor as well. Could be a bit faster at the beginning.
Cool talk, cool presentation and a very nice tool :-)
Awesome talk and cool examples! Haven't seen a comparision of these frameworks before and we could see their different ways to solve the problem and there are quite massive differences between all these frameworks so everyone should compare all of them before choosing one!
I have to disagree with some of the above comments. I actually feel that it was a very good idea to start with a very simple problem and walk through various steps of enhancing the solution to become more flexible. This way everyone can follow through and understand what the talk was really about: improving code for extensibility and maintainability. By going deeper that essence would have been lost. If any more depth is to be given to this, I would suggest to limit it to discussing some design patterns only and not dig any further.
