No prerequisites! Just start coding in Lua and find some Lua code 
to study. No one can become instantly fluent, we must use it, that 
is, write and read Lua code.

Back in the Stone Ages, many kids started programming in primary 
school or even earlier (VIC-20, Apple ][, C64, BBC Micro, ZX 
Spectrum etc.) They didn't have a speck of Comp Sci knowledge in 
them either...

All you need is curiosity... an oversimplification, but I think 
Einstein explained it better.

Good luck!
