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. You'll 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, you're ready to start with NFC

Building electronic projects that interact with the physical world is enjoyable, but it becomes even more exciting when these devices communicate. Hobbyists and makers are increasingly using microcontrollers to create innovative projects like video games, robots, and toys.
