Very nice presentation. I'll be passing this along to colleagues.

However--isn't this how most web apps are made? The domain-driven design of model->model interactions->front-end design has been around for a long time now hasn't it? I was hoping for something more to come up as I was watching the presentation.

The apps I do by myself pretty much follow what Ryan Singer outlined. It works very well, and once the code has been sanity checked to work I get started on a "high fidelity" version of the front-end and just play with Photoshop until the look is there. 20-25% of time spent is in a notebook full of class diagrams, database tables and lo-fi wireframes, rationalizing what models make sense for the app, how they will interact, what the user/admin will see, etc.
