So we decided: TOGAF is at our fingertips!!
At the beginning we have to get materials. After making a simple query search to the google we find a website of The OpenGroup. They define themselves as:
The Open Group is a vendor-neutral and technology-neutral consortium, whose vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™ will enable access to integrated information, within and among enterprises, based on open standards and global interoperability.
OKey, so we are at the right place.
In the “Bookstore && Downloads” category (available at: http://www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/ ) you can see those books. When you click the name of any of them, a description is available. For us – we’re going to take Togaf 9 exam – “TOGAF Version 9“, “TOGAF 9 Part 1 Practice Test“, “TOGAF 9 Part 2 Practice Test“, “TOGAF 9 Certified Study Guide” are ok. You don’t have to buy them all at the same time.
Unfortunatelly most of the books available on this site is not free. For some of them it is possible to buy electronic or hard copy version, for other it is possible to buy only electronic copy.
There is also a section named “Downloading TOGAF 9 as a Non-Member” at http://www.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9/downloads.htm page. You can download there TOGAF “Version 9 under a free, personal, 90-day Evaluation License“. I think that this is the best option for us right now. It gives time to verify if togaf is this what we really want without spending money on it.
I also found some other links that you might be interested in:

- …? any suggestions?
If I find anything interesting, I update the list.
ps. I shouldn’t say that but: if you will search good enough you can find those books on sites like rapidshare, megaupload or similar, but remember: it’s at least not fair. Laws of some countries accept downloading (it’s not prohibited) but don’t accept sharing files to others.
