ZX Spectrum Next Documentation

The Next project is continuously improved, so it's a good practice to check for the most recent updates of the manuals, documents and Next-specific books.

ZX Spectrum Next Manual

• Available online: FAQ#Where_can_I_download_a_copy_of_the_manual?

docs Directory of the Distribution

• https://gitlab.com/thesmog358/tbblue/-/tree/master/docs , especially note the nextzxos folder written and kept up to date by the author of NextZXOS and NextBASIC.

Next-specific Books

(The Next specific books are typically written under assumption that the reader is already familiar enough with the low-level hardware programming aspects relevant to the original ZX Spectrum, so the readers who aren't should also check the books about the "classic" ZX Spectrum too)
