I have no doubt that Ben knows what he's talking about and it's clear he has quite some teaching experience, but for a Magento newbie it was probably just too much information in a single morning session. Perhaps Ben can 'trim the edges' to make it a better fit or perhaps turn it into a full day tutorial.

Covered some of the good parts (possibly lesser known) for new users as well as some good tools to use, however, I think the talk could have been a little bit better structured as we ran out of time before what I think is a key development feature (event observers) were covered.
I would recommend for the code portion to do separate commits in a git repo and replay them as part of your tutorial instead of typing it all again during the talk. This can also be a pre-tested way so certain parts won't be forgotten or issues arise during that you have to spend some time debugging.
I would also have the code you used available (via github/whatever) and listed on the slides for participants to go through during the talk.
