About this course
The journey
Lua is tiny, quick to learn and everywhere: games, editors, servers and embedded devices. In a weekend you go from installing Lua to writing scripts with tables, functions, string handling and modules.
Every lesson is short and ends with a small script you can run straight away, so by Sunday evening you are ready for any of the other courses on the Lua line.

Rated 5.0 out of 5One euro well spent
Did it exactly as advertised over a weekend and wrote my first game mod on Monday. Tables are explained better than anywhere else I looked.

Each lesson ends with something that runs, which kept me motivated. I now use it with my programming club.

Rated 4.0 out of 5Quick and clear
As an experienced programmer I skimmed the first part, but the patterns and modules sections were a useful reference.
