Jump into the world of Near Field Communications (NFC) - the fast-growing technology that lets devices in close proximity exchange data - using radio signals. With lots of examples - sample code - exercises - and step-by-step projects - this hands-on guide shows you how to build NFC applications for Android - the Arduino microcontroller - and embedded Linux devices. Youll learn how to write apps using the NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) in PhoneGap - Arduino - and node.js that help devices read messages from passive NFC tags and exchange data with other NFC-enabled devices. If you know HTML and JavaScript - youre ready to start with NFC. Dig into NFCs architecture - and learn how its related to RFID Write sample apps for Android with PhoneGap and its NFC plugin Dive into NDEF: examine existing tag-writer apps and build your own Listen for and filter NDEF messages - using PhoneGap event listeners Build a full Android app to control lights and music in your home Create a hotel registration app with Arduino - from check-in to door lock Write peer-to-peer NFC messages between two Android devices Explore embedded Linux applications - using examples on Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone...
