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 (http://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 (http://tylerneylon.com/a/learn-lua/) – Teaching code, in code
- Programming in Lua, First Edition (http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html) – A free eBook for Lua 5.0, though still largely relevant today
- Lua 5.1 Reference Manual (http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/)
- The NEW Garry's Mod wiki (http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Main_Page) – Not the best, but informative
- The OLD Garry's Mod wiki (https://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/index4875.html) – Slightly outdated, but a bit more informative
- Resources to get started with ULX/ULib
- The ULib documentation (http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/)
- My own personal ULX command template (http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,7911.msg40173.html#msg40173)

Seen the 3 "sticky" aka "pinned" posts at the top of the "Developers Corner (http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/board,14.0.html)" forums? Some good basic starting points in the links within the topics there-in.

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 (http://pastebin.com/TEGqEbUJ).
