This technique will force you to learn where the clutch engagement point is and how to hold it there in order to get the car moving smoothly. If you move the clutch in one continuous movement, you won't pause at the clutch engagement point and you'll have a jerky start or kill the engine.
Once you have the feel of this technique with no throttle, its a snap to use it with the throttle and you'll be banging off smooth starts without worry.

This is dead on. I taught my kids to drive this way, and they got it pretty quickly. They are still a little jerky because they don't drive the Porsche regularly and it is the only stick in the family.
Once you know where the clutch "grabs" it makes everything else pretty thought free. Don't over think it.
