IoC Open Space at ALT.NET Seattle

We had a great little open discussion on building IoC-driven apps today at ALT.NET Seattle.

A handful of good points came up:

Building aggregate object graphs for the UI layer is giving people headaches
Dynamic instantiation patterns like 'injected context' and 'generated context adapter' are starting to gain more recognition as basic buildling blocks
Service locators can be a useful step in the process of refactoring-to-IoC (seems like there is some work to be done in developing a body of knowledge in this area)
The time is right for some better tooling, e.g. dependency graph exploration

Thanks everyone who showed up and got involved. (Extra thanks to Glenn Block for setting up the session - kudos!)
