a)

- Look at Sun's tutorials on Java Card.

- Z. Chen's book from Sun about smart cards gives you deeper knowledge about the Java Card technology.

- Furthermore there is a great reference book about smart cards in general from W. Rankl.

b)

- Java: You should have basic understanding and knowledge about Java.

- Java Card: is a subset of Java, but you need to be much more aware of the Java Card VM and RE.

- You need to have some specifications at hand

- Java Card API, VM and RE

- GlobalPlatform

- ISO 7816 and ISO 14443 for CL

c)

- There is a number of smart card operating systems.

- I recommend the Java Card Open Platform (JCOP) from IBM/NXP. There is a good developer environment (JCOP Tools plugin for Eclipse) where you can start developing against a smart card SW simulator.

ISO standards are not for free. Maybe you can find a free older version of 7816 on the net (ISO7816-4: protocol --> APDU, 1995 should be OK).
