[request]Looking to learn lua

(1/1)

XxLMM13xX:
Hello guys! I had a request for anyone that's willing to answer... i really want to learn lua but dont know where to start... i know there are no teachers really willing to teach for free or even cheap. All i need is either ideas for REALLY simple things and links for videos to teach. I dont want cosmic segal because i cant make the gamemode anymore because www.garrysmod.org or somthing went down ;(

Thanks,
XxLMM13xXgaming

A direct quote from a Steam discussion I replied to:

From an experienced developer, here are my top picks for learning Lua:

* Learn Lua in 15 Minutes – Teaching code, in code
* Programming in Lua, First Edition – A free eBook for Lua 5.0, though still largely relevant today
* Lua 5.1 Reference Manual
* The NEW Garry's Mod wiki – Not the best, but informative
* The OLD Garry's Mod wiki – Slightly outdated, but a bit more informative
* Resources to get started with ULX/ULib
* The ULib documentation
* My own personal ULX command template

Seen the 3 "sticky" aka "pinned" posts at the top of the "Developers Corner" forums? Some good basic starting points in the links within the topics there-in.

Thanks guys! Any ideas for a really simple project on gmod to try?

For basic Lua, there's some walk through examples in PIL you could take a look at.
For GMod, I'm not sure. My first production-worthy project was my Workshop utility for servers.
