Hi all.
Wondering if anyone could recommend a good book on LUA?
Never really used it before and would like to find a resource.
There don’t seem to be too many on Amazon, and most have a copyright date of around 2007/2008.
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

The first time I programmed was 2 or 3 months ago, and I had never done anything before that. I got Corona SDK, and I learned from a combination of reading the APIs, looking at the sample code, and help from the forums. Now I’m pretty much able to do most of the stuff I need to. You might try looking into the sample code and APIs, they’re pretty simple to understand, even if they’re not really books.

I have these two on my book shelf (both from Amazon), and I look things up in them occasionally:
Lua 5.1 Reference Manual. Roberto Ierusalimschy, Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo and Waldemar Celes
Beginning Lua Programming (Programmer to Programmer). Kurt Jung and Aaron Brown
The old copyright of those books doesn’t bother me, since Lua itself is pretty much still the same. It’s the Corona SDK that is dynamic and the main target of my interest.
Mostly I use the Corona docs and tutorials. And I regularly read the recent Corona forum posts for all kinds of helpful information. [import]uid: 23636 topic_id: 28848 reply_id: 116273[/import]
You can also read Programming in Lua 5.0 free online Here It’s older but should get you pointed in the right direction. [import]uid: 105129 topic_id: 28848 reply_id: 116292[/import]
Thanks all!
I appreciate the recommendations.
