The Art and Science of NFC Programming

NFC is a world standard since 2004 which is now within every smartphone on the market. Such a standard enables us to do mobile transactions (mobile payment) in a secure way along with many other information- based tap n play operations. This book has a double role for computer scientists (from bachelor students in CS to IT professionals).
