Lua Org Guide

wiki

This is a brief users review of the official Lua website at http://www.lua.org . All of the links on this page point to that site.

So, what is Lua? [1]
There some good papers on the Lua documentation page. [2]
- The history of Lua describes Lua's evolution. It gives good insight into language features and Lua's philosophy. [3]
- There is a good overview of Lua broadly describing language features. [4]
- The Dr Dobbs article is quite a practical look at the language and contains some nice source code snippets at the end. [5]
Reading all of the manual is never a bad idea! [6]
If you get stuck there is an FAQ list. [7]
The Lua site maintains a list of projects that use Lua which may provide some inspiration. [8]
If you are not already subscribed to the mailing list [9], you may want to join in order to ask questions. There is a searchable archive of past messages [11] which should answer a lot of your questions.

There are some Lua technical notes describing how to use various features of the language, write bindings to your applications etc. [10]
