Personal technology continues to evolve every day, but business technology does not follow that trend. Business IT is often treated as a necessary evil that can't be relied upon to take companies to the next level in their corporate evolution. In "The Golden Age of Drive-Thru IT," author Kedar Sathe offers useful, wide-ranging, and imaginative advice about how to revive and strengthen IT departments.

Sathe, who has been programming computers since age fourteen, discusses how businesses must establish and execute new IT strategies to maintain and increase their bottom line. "The Golden Age of Drive-Thru IT" describes various aspects of technology and how IT can rise to every occasion and become a strategic enabler. It shows how IT can become nimble and flexible, yet produce robust and graceful solutions that allow companies to drive toward success in an efficient and enriching fashion.

"The Golden Age of Drive-Thru IT" communicates how innovative ideas and smart, enthusiastic contributors will allow IT transformations to take place, reinvent itself, rise to its true potential, and stop selling itself short.

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Electronic Literature as Digital Humanities: Contexts, Forms & Practices is a volume of essays that provides a detailed account of born-digital literature by artists and scholars who have contributed to its birth and evolution. Rather than offering a prescriptive definition of electronic literature, this book takes an ontological approach through descriptive exploration, treating electronic literature from the perspective of the digital humanities (DH)--that is, as an area of scholarship and practice that exists at the juncture between the literary and the algorithmic. The domain of DH is typically segmented into the two seemingly disparate strands of criticism and building, with scholars either studying the synthesis between cultural expression and screens or the use of technology to make artifacts in themselves. This book regards electronic literature as fundamentally DH in that it synthesizes these two constituents. Electronic Literature as Digital Humanities provides a context for the development of the field, informed by the forms and practices that have emerged throughout the DH moment, and finally, offers resources for others interested in learning more about electronic literature.
