Lua.Org Programming in Lua, fourth edition

Bok som är skriven på ett lättsamt språk.

This is a well-written primer on Lua by one of the language's authors. While it doesn't have the depth of a reference book, it touches on all the major topics and provides enough information to get you started without getting bogged down in excessive details. One of the bonuses of the book's author also writing the language itself is that he often explains why certain design choices were made when he and his colleagues architected Lua. Understanding the rationale and philosophies underpinning Lua really helps when learning the language, in my opinion.

A superb book for Lua lovers :-) It is a nice update to the previous version of the book, also very recommendable.

A great read! It's very informative and thorough, containing end of chapter questions to test your knowledge. If you find yourself needing to learn the basics of LUA, this is a great start!

Un'introduzione a Lua molto ben fatta, competente e piena di molto buon senso. Il libro è molto ben organizzato e strutturato. L'ultima parte, quella sull'interfacciamento di C e Lua, potrebbe forse beneficiare di una scelta di esempi migliori, dato che alcuni risultano piuttosto artificiali e quindi poco coinvolgenti.
