  [[The Lua ebook]] Reference Manual The official definition of the Lua language is its reference manual, which is available online and also as a book: Lua 5.1 Reference Manual by R. Ierusalimschy, L. H. de Figueiredo, W. Celes Lua.org, August 2006 ISBN 85-903798-3-3 Also available in Portuguese , Spanish , and Russian . The manuals for all released versions are available online. Link: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/ This is totally free, but may be a bit complex to beginners. This is what you use if you already know what a "boolean" is. Also available (but outdated by .1 versions)  This is an online version of the first edition of the book Programming in Lua by Roberto Ierusalimschy Lua.org, December 2003 ISBN 85-903798-1-7 The book is a detailed and authoritative introduction to all aspects of Lua programming, by Lua's chief architect. The first edition was aimed at Lua 5.0. Link: http://www.lua.org/pil/ |

Re: [[The Lua ebook]] Reference Manual He said that one of them was a bit complex for beginners, and...I really don't have any idea of what a "boolean" is....AND wikipedia isn't very explanatory, atleast not in terms that make sense to someone who is about to start whatever comes after algebra in school.

Re: [[The Lua ebook]] Reference Manual The fact that I KNOW algebra was what I was trying to get across. Algebra isn't a problem for me, at all.
