Dallas, Texas – If you ask most people what NFC stands for, they will probably think about football. But a new book in bookstores this week introduces readers to a new meaning for NFC: near field communication (NFC). Robert P. Sabella, founder of NFC Bootcamp™ — the most comprehensive series of globally delivered near field communication education programs — wrote NFC for Dummies, published by For Dummies®, the world’s bestselling reference series and a Wiley brand, to take the intimidation out of working with the features of NFC-enabled devices. The book will tell you exactly what NFC is, how it works and what it does—and doesn’t do.
Soon, one billion mobile devices will have NFC in them. Today, you can pay for groceries at your local grocery store using NFC. Tomorrow you will start to see many other applications that use NFC to make your life easier. NFC for Dummies explores the mobile payments and wallets landscape as well as expanded use cases in marketing, enterprise, healthcare, anti-counterfeiting and the expanding world of the Internet of Things. With guidance and input from experts in the NFC ecosystem, the book unlocks a lot of the secrets of the trade and gets readers up to speed quickly on how NFC works, where it is being used today, and where it will be used in the future.
“With all the buzz today about how NFC is enabling mobile payments for Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, and others, I wanted to provide a clear introduction into how NFC works and how it can be used across industry verticals, for mobile payments and beyond,” said Sabella. “We haven’t even scratched the surface of how this amazing technology can be leveraged to enable the Internet of Things in our connected society.”
