John Green, whose book for young adults hit the number one spot this week before he was even finished writing it, is the latest example of an author whose use of social media and the web has given him tremendous power within the publishing industry.

5 Free E-Books and Tutorials on Lua
[info]marcussbarber

Lua logo This week Lua broke into the TIOBE Index top 10 for the first time. The TIOBE Index is a deeply flawed index, as a few of you have pointed out here before, and it's hard to believe that Lua has suddenly surpassed JavaScript in popularity - though there are a lot of people out there using it for World of Warcraft scripting.

None the less, I thought this would be an excellent occasion to do a free e-book round-up for Lua. Whether you want to learn it for game scripting, extending Renoise or building Web servers, these references will help you get started with the language.

Sponsor

The Lua community makes finding resources for leaning Lua quite easy. The Lua-Users wiki has a page dedicated to learning the language.

There's also a Web-based demo where you can enter your code and experiment with it.

Lua-Users Tutorial

The Lua-Users tutorial consists of several individual tutorials that build on each other. It's aimed at absolute beginners that may not even be familiar with scripting languages.

Programming in Lua

Programming Lua

The first edition of Programming in Lua by Roberto Ierusalimschy is available for free online. Ierusalimschy is the chief architect of Lua. The book was written with Lua 5.0 in mind (it's up to 5.1 now, and the 5.2 alpha is available for testing), but is still a good beginner's reference.

You can buy the second edition here.

Lua Programming Gems

Lua Programming Gems

Lua Programming Gems edited by L. H. de Figueiredo, W. Celes, R. Ierusalimschy introduces more advanced Lua concepts. Parts of it are available for free in online. The full book can be bought in print and various digital formats.

Lua Functional Programming

Lua Functional Programming is a Wikibook in progres "inspired by and based on Paul Graham's work On Lisp." It's meant for programmers already experienced with Lua.

Lua 5.1 Reference Manual

Lua 5.1 Reference Manual

For those that just want to dive into the reference manual, the whole thing is available online for free.
