The Open Group's Architect Certification Programs

If any body looking for Architect Certification Programs, they can consider The Open Group's Architect Certification Programs.
About TOGAF:
As The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF) went through several successive revisions, members of the Architecture Forum asked the question posed earlier—How do you know if someone is really an architect?—in practice, not just in theory, and considered the problem of IT Architect Certification (ITAC) independent of TOGAF. Several of the Forum's members operated architecture profession programs, and certification was often part of the professional development and career path of profession members. These programs had comparable criteria and processes, but differed inmany details and were essentially proprietary. The Architecture Forum recognized the value of industry-wide, vendor-independent standard certification criteria, and asked that The Open Group initiate a project to define such a standard.

The certification of IT architects benefits three constituencies:
  • Individual practicing IT architects, and, thus, the profession as a whole
  • The employers of IT architects, both as in-house architects and as professional services architectural consultants
  • The consumers of IT architects' services and work products

Implementing Parallelism With A SearchResultCollection

Implementing Parallel.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection: The below piece of code helps to check the given user is a part of the given active directory group. To implement Parallel.ForEach with a SearchResultCollection, do the casting with the SearchResult object and covert it into a list. //// Directory Searcher var directorySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(string.Format("(CN={0})", groupName)); //// Find group var searchResultCollection = directorySearcher.FindAll().Cast ().ToList(); Parallel.ForEach(searchResultCollection, searchResult => {  // enumerate members  var resultPropColl = searchResult.Properties;  Parallel.ForEach(resultPropColl["member"].Cast ().ToList(), member =>  {    var memberEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + member);    var userProperties = memberEntry.Properties;    if (GetUserNameFromProperties(userProperties, "sAMAccountName") == userName)    {      return true; ...
