TOPIC: Learning LUA

Learning LUA 8 years 5 months ago #425105

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?

HTML and CSS are mark up languages
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VB6 is horribly outdated and the only people who still use it are making malware.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

That and I can't really influence what is taught in Computer Science courses at secondary schools in Scotland. We started learning VB6 up to 5th year and when I joined an Advanced Higher class I was forced to teach myself Python up to that level in a matter of weeks, not fun.

I wouldn't say I'm most familiar with them if my only skill was to print out the old "Hello World" message.

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.
