I've been writing a Lua tutorial and there is a page on coroutines:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/CoroutinesTutorial

The directory of topics is here:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory

And there is more information about the tutorial here:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaTutorial

Development of the tutorial is somewhat sporadic as it is done in my
spare time. It is *not* complete; please bear with me, I do intend to
finish it!
