For our next meetup we have Steve Donovan coming from South Africa.
You may well know him from the Lua mailing list or one of his many
projects... Hope to see you all there!

Lua with Android using AndroLua
AndroLua is a demonstration project by Michal Kottman which bundles
Lua 5.1 and LuaJava as an application you can run on your phone or an
emulator. The version I will demonstrate implements a simple TCP
server so that one can open an interactive session on a host machine.
Only weighing in at 260Kb, AndroLua provides access to most Android
APIs directly through Java reflection. It is a good way to learn the
capabilities of this OS without a time-consuming compile-upload-launch
cycle, and Lua modules and other assets can be uploaded to a running
program. I will show how the dynamic nature of Lua and its support for
first-class functions makes Android application development more
pleasant and productive.
Steve Donovan works at CSIR Mining Innovation laboratories,
Johannesburg, South Africa. He has been active in open-source Lua
development, and is a compulsive creator of Github repositories.
