Megiddo:
This is our fault, and we have it on our bug list. Sorry, you'll just have to make the command lower case in the mean time.
skillz:
Ah thats brilliant news :), i was banging my head against the wall :P, btw, i would really like to learn lua inside out, any books/materials that you would recommend reading?
Megiddo:
My recommendations depend on previous experience. Do you have any formal college training in programming? How long have you been programming? Do you know what a pointer is (without looking it up)?
skillz:
No, i took an interest in lua when i had to program stupid turtles in minecraft, i didn't do much but then a friend offered me a coding position on his server and since then i've done a lot of coding for lua. Its all self taught, i've been coding in my spare time for about 6 months now i would say. And no i don't know what a pointer is.
Megiddo:
I'd recommend reading Programming in Lua. Even though that online edition is aimed at 5.0, most everything remains applicable. Read it front to back; it has lots of good examples that will get you thinking. After that you should go more meta with books like The Pragmatic Programmer (well worth the money). Read up on Jeff Atwood's blog as well as Joel Spolsky. Yes, this takes time and it's not directly Lua-related, but it's how you become a good programmer.
