Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

   Hi I am new to to forums,Lua and Corona. Can you please give me a link where I can download and print all the documentation regarding Corona and Lua.

 I want a step by step guide in programming and examples(I only know c++).

Thanks!

Thanks David!

For lua there is an online book written by Robert something-unspellable at www.lua.org

Yeah,I heard about the book,but 40$ for a damn book is way to much.I do not want to sound like stupid,but it’s a little bit to much for me.

The first edition of that Lua book is available free online:

http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html

While it references Lua v5.0 and they’re now up to v5.3, for using Lua in Corona SDK I don’t think it will make a difference at all.

For something a little less “dry” I’ll recommend my tutorial video courses at http://MasteringCoronaSDK.com :slight_smile:

PS - The crack about the docs being dry was just light-hearted fun – I refer to those docs (as well as the Corona API docs) quite often.
