I've put forward a couple of talks:

Why do I need an Inversion of Control Container   (Style: Presentation - Level: 100)
Inversion of Control (IoC) containers such as Unity Windsor and Structure Map are a hot topic in the Microsoft Development world. What are they and why is there such a buzz about them? How will they help me build better applications? Join me on a trip to an parallel universe of application architecture where I show how IoC containers at last make component oriented software development a reality.

This will be an updated version of the talk I gave at last year's DDD. I'll try and compress the 'why' and have a little more of the 'what' this time.

Using an Inversion of Control Container in a real world application   (Style: Presentation - Level: 200)
Going beyond an initial introduction to IoC containers, this talk shows their use in an open source eCommerce application, Suteki Shop. I will show how the IoC container helps us write component oriented software and can significantly simplify both our architecture and code. This will include a look at some nice techniques such as generic repositories, using IoC containers with the MVC Framework and how they can help us host services.

A more in-depth look at how an IoC container helps with a real world application. I'm really looking forward to showing off the generic repository pattern and WCF integration in this one. The problem is going to be cramming everything in.
