TOPIC: Learning LUA

Basically I've been planning on learning LUA for a while (specifically for GMOD) because it seems really interesting to use a scripting language in a game environment.

I know 9 programming languages (about 4/5 of which I'm fairly used to) and I thought a 10th one would be cool, because OCD.

Does anyone know any resources for learning LUA? Maybe YouTube videos or websites that have useful information for beginners?

What languages you know already?

If you're looking to learn Lua in Garry's Mod, then I'd recommend wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Main_Page

gLua is a pretty good version of Lua.

JQuery is a JavaScript library
VB6 is horribly outdated and the only people who still use it are making malware.
Python is shit
PHP is shit

Where's the Learning LUA YouTube series with Max?! 8/8 would updoot

HTML is not a programing language

Also i highly doubt you know that much except printing out text etc

The listed ones that I only have basic skills in would be things like input validation, simple data input/output etc.

I doubt you know much about showing courtesy to people, instead of doubting their abilities and intelligence.

Nice dude, I'm starting to learn C

I've had brief look over the resources provided, so I think I'm all set.

This can be locked, thanks in advance.
