Hi,
"Lua Quick Reference" is a newly published book on Lua and is now available in
print and digital form! Please visit https://foicica.com/lua for more information, ;
including links for ordering the e-book and/or print book, as well as a free excerpt from
the book.
The website also has an e-book bundle offer that allows you to order "Lua Quick
Reference" and get "Textadept Quick Reference" for 50% off. (Textadept is a fast,
minimalist, and remarkably extensible cross-platform text editor for programmers. It can be
scripted and configured with Lua.)
For your convenience, the book description for "Lua Quick Reference" is as
follows:
Lua is a small, fast, powerful, and embeddable scripting language. It is
well-suited for use in video games, application scripting, embedded devices,
and nearly anywhere else a scripting language is needed. This quick reference
contains a wealth of knowledge on how to program in and embed Lua, whether it
is Lua 5.3, 5.2, or 5.1. This book can even be used with LuaJIT, a Just-In-Time
compiler for Lua based on Lua 5.1. Lua Quick Reference groups the language's
features and C API in a convenient and easy-to-use manner, while clearly
marking the differences between Lua versions.
This book covers:
* Lua syntax, expressions, and statements
* Metatables and metamethods
* Object-oriented programming with Lua
* Creating and working with Lua and C Modules
* Lua's standard library and its C API
* Collaborative multi-threading in Lua and C
* How to embed and use Lua within a host
* And much more
Cheers,
Mitchell
