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. You8217ll 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, you8217re ready to start with Nfc.Dig into Nfc8217s architecture, and learn how it8217s related to RfidWrite sample apps for Android with PhoneGap and its Nfc pluginDive into Ndef examine existing tag-writer apps and build your ownListen for and filter Ndef messages, using PhoneGap event listenersBuild a full Android app to control lights and music in your homeCreate a hotel registration app with Arduino, from check-in to door lockWrite peer-to-peer Nfc messages between two Android devicesExplore embedded Linux applications, using examples on Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone,.
About the Author
Tom Igoe teaches courses in physical computing and networking at the Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. In his teaching and research, he explores ways to allow digital technologies to sense and respond to a wide range of human physical expression. He coauthored "Physical Computing: Sensing and Controlling the Physical World with Computers" with Dan O'Sullivan, which has been adopted by numerous digital art and design schools around the world. He is a contributor to MAKE magazine and a cofounder of the Arduino open source microcontroller project. He hopes to someday to visit Svalbard and Antarctica.
