learning LUA

[scuzzo84]

I am new to programming, all I know is basic php/pgsql and thats about it. What do you suggest I do as far as starting homebrew. Should I pick up a lua book? Should I just follow tutorials and dive in or what? Where do I even get the functions that lua has for the DS?

I did read the thread below but I was looking for a more solid answer as far as , what the best route would be

My recommended steps:
- learn Lua first, you should try Lua references and Lua's twiki.  Feel free to to get a book if you like.
- once you are familiar with Lua, learning Lua should be simple.  DSLua is just Lua + DS-specific functions
- learn more about how DS works, should be in conjunction with the previous step

I really need to get myself in gear to write more DSLua documentations.  Right now, people are basically learning from the included sample scripts.
