TOPIC: Beginning GLua - any advice?

I'm trying to learn GLua, anyone got any tips? Probably going to start off by making simple scoreboards and stuff like that.

The extent of my programming knowledge is basic Python, Lua, Javascript, and HTML.

Waste of time

Edit: and what kind of profit could someone make by learning Gmod Lua?

In order to achieve such sales you need years of practice in order to make a good working addon that people will buy.

Go to wiki.garrysmod.com

Then click on the beginner guide and there you will learn about some basic things

Just stop playing fkin Riven and you might actually use your brain.

To get started in GLua I recommend using the wiki as Windows said but also YouTube and Google are your best friends.
