The (Complete and Utter) Novice's Guide
by Fang Xianfu
When I first learnt Lua, I found that there was a lack of entry-level, step-by-step guides for people with little to no programming experience. This guide is my attempt to fill in that gap.
My aim, simply, is to teach you, regardless of your programming background, enough Lua to solve most common problems, or at the very least teach you how to work out how to solve most common problems.
You may find it easier to read this guide inside CMUD's Help Viewer while going through the examples.
