\emph{Enterprise Pharo} is the third volume of the series, following
\emph{Pharo by Example} and \emph{Deep into Pharo}. It covers
enterprise libraries and frameworks, and in particular those useful for
doing web development.

The book is structured in five parts.\\
\textbf{The first part} talks about simple web applications, starting with a
minimal web application in chapter 1 on Teapot and then a
tutorial on building a more complete web application in chapter 2.\\
\textbf{Part two of the book} deals with HTTP support in Pharo, talking about
character encoding in chapter 3, using Pharo as a HTTP Client in
chapter 4, as a HTTP server in chapter 5, and using WebSockets in chapter 6.\\
\textbf{In the third part} we discuss the handling of data for the
application. Firstly we treat data that is in the form of
comma-separated values in chapter 7. Secondly and thirdly, we treat
JSON (in chapter 8) and its Smalltalk counterpart STON (in chapter
9). Fourthly, serialization and deserialization of object graphs with
Fuel is treated in chapter 10. Lastly, we discuss the Voyage
persistence framework and persisting to MongoDB databases in
chapter 11.\\
\textbf{Part four of the book} deals with the presentation layer. Chapter 12
shows how to use Mustache templates in Pharo, and chapter 13 talks
about programmatic generation of CSS files. The documentation of the
application could be written in Pillar, which is presented in chapter
14. How to generate .pdf files from the application with Artefact is
shown in chapter 15.\\
\textbf{The fifth part of the book} deals with deploying the web
application. This is explained in chapter 16 that talks not only about how to build and
run the application, but also other important topics like monitoring
the app.
