Professional NFC Application Development for Android (ePub)

A practical guide to developing and deploying Near Field
Communication (NFC) applications

There has been little practical guidance available on NFC
programming, until now. If you're a programmer or developer, get
this unique and detailed book and start creating apps for this
exciting technology. NFC enables contactless mobile communication
between two NFC-compatible devices. It's what allows customers to
pay for purchases by swiping their smartphones with Google Wallet,
for example. This book shows you how to develop NFC applications
for Android, for all NFC operating modes: reader/writer,
peer-to-peer, and card emulation.

The book starts with the basics of NFC technology, an overview
of the Android OS, and what you need to know about the SDK tools.
It then walks you through all aspects of NFC app development,
including SE programming. You'll find all you need to create an
app, including functioning, downloadable code and a companion
website with additional content. Valuable case studies help you
understand each operating mode in clear, practical detail.
