QR Codes
![](http://b.img.qrstuff.com/images/space.gif)
A QR Code (stands for “Quick Response”) is a mobile phone readable barcode. In its simplest sense think “print based hypertext link” – simply encode a URL into the QR Code and then point a mobile phone (or other camera-enabled mobile) at it. If the device has had QR Code decoding software installed on it, it will fire up its browser and go straight to that URL.
