Absolutely recommended. The book really helped me to clarify what a TOGAF is and what it is not. Reading your book made me realize that the scope of the standard is much bigger than the single solution and it spans over the whole enterprise and on a higher level of abstraction. I think your book does good job explaining what an architect is and what levels of architecture are usually to be found in companies.

I have started reading this book and the knowledge I have gained so far, far outweighs the price and heft (it is over 800 pages). The various avenues, via the colour coded system, one can go about using the book is also a boon. At the end of each chapter is a healthy summary. To top it off, the book is in colour and that make a a huge difference. The writing is simple and straightforward with lots of references to other source materials. Well done Mr. Jager.

Mastering the TOGAF® Standard is an outstanding, practical guide that brings clarity and real-world relevancy to one of the most influential architecture frameworks in the world. The explanations are clear, the examples are practical, and the focus on how to apply the standard sets this work apart from other reference texts. Whether you’re preparing for certification or guiding architecture work in your organization, this book delivers both confidence and competence. A must-read for anyone serious about mastering TOGAF.

I bought the book and was surprised, and I would say a little bit scared, by the number of pages. Looking at it, i can say that it is the reference book I was looking for quite some time. The plan is clear enough that I can refer to it to access the content i need. Diagrams are clear and it is easy to read. Lots of examples are provided. A must have for any enterprise architect.
