The goal of the MAP is to be the ultimate source of information for the MSX programmer or programmer-to-be. The main target is assembly language, because that’s what the maintainers’ preferred programming language is, but most information will be useful to users of other languages as well. The MAP is currently maintained by Grauw and BiFi.
Where to start
The site is divided into several sections, which you can select from at the top.
The Articles section contains articles about topics ranging from tutorials for beginners to advanced programming techniques. Resources contains technical references and datasheets. The Sources section contains both short and common reusable routines, as well as the sources of several big well-known programs. In the Download section you will find several useful programming-related tools, and the Links section links to other development-related sites. And finally, there is the Contributing section for those who want to help improve the MAP.

The Contributing section explains how to get started with the source code.
