Discover what needs to happen in enterprise-architecture practice—and not just its outcomes, but also the activities from which those outcomes would arise. This book reveals how business and enterprise architects can deliver fast solutions to an always-on-the-go business world.To begin, you'll review a new technique called "context-space mapping," which provides a structured method for sense-making across the entire context of an enterprise. Throughout the book, you'll concentrate on the routine practices that underpin each of the architecture disciplines. Working step-by-step through a real 10-day architecture project, this book explores the activities that underpin the strategy, structures and solutions in the real-time turmoil of an enterprise architect’s everyday work. You'll explore how and why and when the various documents, artefacts and items of ‘theory-stuff’ come into the practice – all those mainstream methods, frameworks, models, metamodels and other information sources. In the end, Everyday Enterprise Architecture will help you develop the skills, judgment, and awareness to keep enhancing the value of your architectural projects.

A service-oriented architecture is fundamental to many new IT applications, from web development to social software and cloud computing. The same principles can be applied to every aspect of the service-oriented enterprise – not just in IT. In this book, you’ll explore how an enterprise architecture and viable services can link together to create a simpler yet far more powerful view of the enterprise, as a dynamic, unified whole. You can use the ideas, principles and methods described here in business transformation, workflow mapping, system design and much else besides, in every type of enterprise - including those in which there may be little or no IT at all. Step by step, you’ll walk through the basics of service-oriented architectures, the four key categories of services and how they connect, and how all of this comes together in real-world service design, implementation and operations. From this, you’ll discover how to identify and describe the different types ofservices that you need for your enterprise, and how to distinguish between the services that you can safely outsource, versus those that you do need to keep in-house. By the end of this book, you’ll learn how to construct function models and service models of your enterprise as a base for service-mapping, and how to pinpoint and map the information flows you need for service-management and service-performance, to keep everything on-track to purpose. What You'll LearnSee how an enterprise architecture can work as a literal architecture Understand Stafford Beer’s "Viable System Model" and adapt it as a robust modelStudy how a Viable Services Model provides a template for service design that covers functionals, non-functionals and operational governance for servicesWho This Book Is ForEnterprise architects, Business architects, Service designers, Workflow designers 488 kr

Pullers, the first novel by author Tom Graves, defines the genre of Southern Grit Lit. Readers who admire the gritty worlds of authors such as Harry Crews, Larry Brown, Elmore Leonard, and Carl Hiaasen will find Pullers' look behind the curtain of professional arm-wrestling at least as wild and bizarre as anything those other authors have written. With a slate of wild and woolly characters with names like Steve Strong, Scud Matthews, and Snack Pack Harris, Graves puts you right across the table from the strongest men on Planet Earth each of whom wants to destroy you at the wrestling table. The psych-out stunts of these characters make Pullers a cross between Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and Wide World of Sports. Graves warns readers that Pullers "e;is not for the faint of heart."e; - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

During the summer of 2016 author and journalist Tom Graves was exasperated after ruining his third batch of fried catfish that season. Recently divorced and having to cook for himself he thought he'd like to get cooking lessons from an elderly African American lady who would teach him her kitchen secrets. His favorite food by far was soul food which he found similar to the Southern country cuisine he'd been raised on. He did not want a chef to give him lessons; he wanted a kitchen cook, someone whose recipes he could duplicate with relative ease. A reverend friend of his in Memphis introduced Graves to 80-year-old Larthy Washington who had been her church cook for over 40 years. She agreed to teach Graves and for one year they met bi-weekly at her church for lessons and tastings. Soon after they began, Graves thought the recipes and stories Ms. Larthy told him would make an excellent cookbook. And so the cookbook Cooking with Ms. Larthy was born, filled with 100 recipes from Ms. Larthy plus an array of special guests renowned for their soul food cooking. The book is not only filled with soul food recipes, many of which contain wonderful descriptions and asides, but stories that put soul food and its history in its proper context. Graves is a natural-born storyteller and foodies and cooks everywhere will enjoy the writing as well as 100 sumptuous soul food recipes that work well for beginning cooks as well as kitchen and cookbook veterans.
