Here's a list of links to help you get off your feet and get into Lua:

http://tylerneylon.com/a/learn-lua/ (http://tylerneylon.com/a/learn-lua/) -- Learn Lua in 15 minutes (only for programmers familiar with the basics)
http://www.lua.org/pil/ (http://www.lua.org/pil/) -- Lua tutorial (written for Lua 5.0, but still works fine for 5.1)
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ (http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/) -- Lua reference manual for looking up specific functions

I know this is old, but a great site I use for testing Lua code is repl.it (https://repl.it/languages/lua). Let's you run it online so you don't have to compile Lua yourself. It doesn't support gLua, naturally.
