I have experience in java cards, but new in programming host application for Desfire, How or Where can I find command set description of Desfire? (I do not need general information like what NXP has mentioned in It's "Product short data sheet"s), I need the commands Instruction code and parameter details and responses (Like APDU or something). thanks.

I am having exact same trouble as you. The closest thing to documentation of the commands is a blog post that shows a couple of examples of what the desfire communication looks like.

But there is a library that can help you with putting desfire commands together:

Edit: It turns out that you can't get the documentation freely. You need to sign an NDA and then buy it.
