Several years ago I started a series of books/textbooks for teaching mobile app & game development with Corona. They continue to be popular (and are in use at many colleges and universities around the world).
Unfortunately, the Corona Labs webpage directing to these resources has gone away.
You can purchase the ebooks on Amazon, Apple, or my website (FYI, you will be notified of FREE updates to the books if you purchase directly from my website. I have no control of notifications from Amazon or Apple).
