Описание: Lua as a language has its own grammar and idioms. Like all languages, it is a means to communicate, and like all programming languages, it can be used to convey instructions to a computer. But this connection to hardware isn’t essential. In fact, Edsger Dijkstra, one of the towering figures of computer science, emphasized the importance of programming without a computer to really understand and verify programs. Lua’s syntax—the rules that dictate how its language pieces may fit together correctly — is small, clean, and straightforward. This syntax includes ways to convey instructions as well as to describe data.

This book is for students and professionals who are intrigued by the prospect of learning and using a powerful language that provides a rich infrastructure for creating programs. No programming knowledge is necessary to benefit from this book except for the section on Lua bindings, which requires some familiarity with the C programming language. Acertain comfort level with command-line operations, text editing, and directory structures is assumed.

Software developers who have experience with functions, strings, and associative arrays can skim Chapters 2 through 5 with the caveat that certain Lua colloquialisms are introduced there along with programming concepts.

Throughout the text, sections pertaining to a particular operating system are clearly marked and can be skipped by readers working on a different platform.
