Programming in Lua
Description
Lua is the language of choice for anyone who needs a scripting language that
is simple, efficient, extensible, portable, and free. Currently, Lua is being
used in areas ranging from embedded systems to Web development and is widely
spread in the game industry, where knowledge of Lua is an indisputable asset.
Lua also has established itself as a major language in software development
for mobile devices. Programming in Lua is the official book about the
language, giving a solid base for any programmer who wants to use Lua.
Authored by Roberto Ierusalimschy, the chief architect of the language, it
covers all aspects of Lua 5—from the basics to its API with C—explaining
how to make good use of its features and giving numerous code examples.
Programming in Lua is targeted at people with some programming background, but
does not assume any prior knowledge about Lua or other scripting languages.
This Third Edition updates the text to Lua 5.2 and brings substantial new
material. In particular, it brings more than one hundred exercises distributed
through all chapters, ranging from simple questions about the language to full
small-size projects. Read more
