Reinventing ITIL® and DevOps with Digital Transformation: Essential Guidance to Accelerate the Process
by Abhinav Krishna KaiserThe second edition of this book has been fully updated to show how the DevOps way of working has continued to adapt to changing technologies. The ITIL processes which were an integral part of the DevOps world have been merged with the DevOps framework, reflecting the current emphasis on product models rather than viewing project and support models separately. This book starts with the basics of digital transformation before exploring how this works in practice: that is, people, processes and technology, and org structures. It delves into value streams that are the basis for ITIL and DevOps, highlighting the differences between the methods of the past and new methodologies needed to ensure products to meet contemporary expectations. This updated edition includes new chapters that discuss digital transformation for business success, introduce the battle tank framework, leading people in the digital world, managing work in a remote working model, and the product-led transformation model. These new chapters provide the guidance necessary to move beyond DevOps into a holistic digital transformation exercise.The ideas, recommendations, and solutions you'll learn over the course of this book can be applied to develop solutions or create proposals for clients, and to deliver seamless services for DevOps projects.What You Will LearnUnderstand digital transformationLeverage the battle tank framework for digital transformationGain insight into the confluence of DevOps and ITILAdapt ITIL processes in DevOps projectsMove organizations from a project to a product-led model Lead teams in a digital worldManage the work of remote teamsWho This Book Is ForIT consultants and IT professionals who are looking for guidance to strategize, plan and implement digital transformation initiatives; design and redesign ITIL processes to adapt to the digital ways of working; moving organizations to product-led business; and leading people and managing work in the digital age.
The Best Interface Is No Interface: The Simple Path to Brilliant Technology
by Golden KrishnaOur love affair with the digital interface is out of control. We've embraced it in the boardroom, the bedroom, and the bathroom. Screens have taken over our lives. Most people spend over eight hours a day staring at a screen, and some "technological innovators" are hoping to grab even more of your eyeball time. You have screens in your pocket, in your car, on your appliances, and maybe even on your face. Average smartphone users check their phones 150 times a day, responding to the addictive buzz of Facebook or emails or Twitter. Are you sick? There's an app for that! Need to pray? There's an app for that! Dead? Well, there's an app for that, too! And most apps are intentionally addictive distractions that end up taking our attention away from things like family, friends, sleep, and oncoming traffic. There's a better way. In this book, innovator Golden Krishna challenges our world of nagging, screen-based bondage, and shows how we can build a technologically advanced world without digital interfaces. In his insightful, raw, and often hilarious criticism, Golden reveals fascinating ways to think beyond screens using three principles that lead to more meaningful innovation. Whether you're working in technology, or just wary of a gadget-filled future, you'll be enlighted and entertained while discovering that the best interface is no interface.

TiVo Hacks
by Raffi KrikorianTiVo Hacks helps you get the most out of your TiVo personal video recorder. Armed with just a screwdriver and basic understanding of PC hardware (or willingness to learn), preeminent hackability awaits. This book includes hacks for changing the order of recorded programs, activating the 30-second skip to blaze through commercials, upgrading TiVo's hard drive for more hours of recording, use of TiVo's Home Media Option to remotely schedule a recording via the Web, log in to the serial port for command-line access to programming data, log files, closed-captioning data, display graphics on the TiVo screen, and even play MP3s. Readers who use advanced hacks to put TiVo on their home network via the serial port, Ethernet, USB, or wireless (with 802.11b WiFi) will watch a whole new world open up. By installing various open source software packages, you can use TiVo for mail, instant messaging, caller-ID, and more. It's also easy to run a web server on TiVo to schedule recordings, access lists of recorded shows, and even display them on a web site. While TiVo gives viewers personalized control of their TVs, TiVo Hacks gives users personalized control of TiVo. Note: Not all TiVos are the same. The original TiVo, the Series 1, is the most hackable TiVo out there; it's a box thrown together with commodity parts and the TiVo code is running on open hardware. The Series 2 TiVo, the most commonly sold TiVo today, is not open. You won't see hacks in this book that involve modifying Series 2 software.
