I agree, "starting from what you know and building from that" is an appealing proposition- as recognised by universities, med schools and advanced tertiary institutes all over the world.
As you say, in offering this proposition, Kevin also distinguishes himself from the galaxy of other dotNET training offerings who bombard us daily.
Seems like a win-win to me. Which is why I'll try to attend.
BTW I was in Holland and Grand Rapids for some weeks until the end of June. IMHO Michigan is a lovely state, especially "Silver Lake" where I spent some very pleasant afternoons.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
