Your no-nonsense guide to Near Field Communication

Are you a newcomer to Near Field Communication and baffled by the scant documentation and online support available for this powerful new technology? You've come to the right place! Written in a friendly and easily accessible manner, NFC For Dummies takes the intimidation out of working with the features of NFC-enabled devices and tells you exactly what it is and what it does--and doesn't do.

NFC is revolutionizing the way people interact on a daily basis. It enables big data and cloud-based computing through mobile devices and can be used by anyone with a smartphone or tablet every day! Soon to be as commonplace as using Wi-Fi or the camera on your smartphone, NFC is going to forever change the way we interact with people and the things around us. It simplifies the sending and receiving of information, makes monetary transactions simple and secure--Apple Pay already uses NFC--and is a low-cost product to manufacture and use. As more developers create apps with NFC, you're going to see it used regularly--everywhere from cash registers to your social media accounts to electronic identity systems. Don't get left behind; get up to speed on NFC today!
