Chip/EMV Programming Knowledge Base

[olufemimogaji () gmail com]

Hi List,

Lately I've gotten really curious about programming on chip cards and EMV technology in general. I'd like a little 
guidance as to how to get started in this field. What I've noticed is that deep technical knowledge in this area is 
hard to come by; I haven't come across any certs or books so far. What I'd like to know falls in the general categories:

1. Materials, books, tutorials, links etc as to how to learn the trade. 
2. How broad the the field is, and the different skills required in each area

3. The programming skills required for a beginner to have prior to learning this technology.

As always, any knowledge shared is highly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Femi
