Learn Daylite from a MacAngel
Marni Melrose is a La Jolla, California-based Mac consultant who has made Daylite her life's work. She not only knows the application and its technical requirements in detail, but she's also an expert on using Daylite to get things done.
Under the name The MacAngel, Marni has developed a number of training videos about Daylite over the years. She's recently completed an amazing 93 minute tutorial that goes through the process of setting up Daylite 3.9, Daylite Server, and Daylite Touch, and then continues on to teach you the MacAngel Method.
The MacAngel Method is Marni's creation, taking David Allen's GTD principles, stirring in the ideas of Stephen Covey and other authors, and then using her experiences implementing Daylite for businesses for over 7 years to show how Daylite can help you drive your business forward.
I'm a Daylite Certified Partner, but after watching The MacAngel Method GTD for Daylite 3.9 & Touch, I felt that I really knew a lot more about how to organize my work and personal life with Daylite than I did from struggling through teaching myself by trial and error. In her video, Marni does a phenomenal job of showing you exactly what to do and, more importantly, why you're doing it.
You can view a 29 minute "trailer" to see how the training works, and then purchase the full video for $45 if you find it as useful as I did.

No, just responding to a bunch of direct tweets I got last week after the Daylite review was posted from people who had downloaded the trial app and were having problems figuring out what to do.

wow Scott, thank God for the anonymity of the Internet, so you can behave like a real dick without ever having to look the person in the eye. Because face to face, you probably just shut up and move along.

Oops - damn 1password autofill! Lol now Bingo's REALLY gonna think I'm a jerk.
No, I just agree with the commenter from the original Daylite post that this all reads like pr to me. But hey - if Steve says folks were looking for the info, then I'm all for it!

Hell, i'll take any coverage that isn't specifically related to the iPhone. I have an iPhone and I'm sick of iPhone posts. 90% of this site is now iPhone. Lame.

i'm with Scott; this article has more superlatives than critique; i watched the trailer: it was informative but dull (and had serious volume problems); hard to imagine that the rest would be "phenomenal"
Marni Melrose may be skilled at Daylite, but she seems to be working hardest at self-promotion; her website is a thick pastiche of marketing techniques and goofy features; while the page (without asking) soaks up your bandwidth loading the 162MB 840x526 trailer into the down-scaled, mis-proportioned 200x141 box in the right sidebar, you'll have time to wonder what a B.Msc. is or what she did at Apple before she "left in 2002" ... and if you want to read this TUAW review and comments all over again in an iframe, click "Reviews" on her site
Steven & TUAW, you will serve your readers better by taking a critical stance in your reporting

Thanks for describing what this horrendous-sounding software even does before your last paragraph. How much does Daylite cost if a video about it with some clouds in it is $45???
