Title: Beginners
Post by: Virus427 on April 17, 2006, 02:20:33 AM
I am a first year CS student. I have very little programming experience, currently I am learning Python in school. I have seen various texts on LUA. Most of these seem to be for more advanced users or people with a solid understanding of programming.

Is there a text intended for the entry level programmer that anyone knows of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try Lua FAQ (http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaFaq), there is a Where can I learn Lua? section.  I am also learning Lua, but I learn mostly by reading Lua's reference manual (http://www.lua.org/docs.html).  As far as DSLua's specific libraries/functions, you can check out the sample scripts included, or some stuff in the forum.  I will try to add more documentaions. :)

Have fun!
