Description

Lua is a scripting language that offers a unique combination of simplicity, efficiency, extensibility, portability, and freedom. Its widespread adoption in various industries, including embedded systems, web development, and the game industry, is a testament to its versatility. For anyone looking to use Lua, "Programming in Lua" provides a comprehensive foundation, covering all aspects of Lua 5 from the basics to its API with C. Authored by the language's chief architect, Roberto Ierusalimschy, this book offers a thorough explanation of Lua's features and provides numerous code examples to illustrate its use. With a focus on those with some programming background, "Programming in Lua" is an ideal resource for anyone looking to learn Lua. The second edition updates the text to Lua 5.1, adding new material, including examples, a detailed explanation of the new module system, and two new chapters on multiple states and garbage collection.
