I would like to say that the easiest way for me to learn lua really fast was to build games with Corona using lua.
Having a great tool that gives great feedback right away makes learning a language more fun IMO.
- potomak 13y agoAlmost the same experience but with Love2D[1] instead of Corona. After learning Lua I also suggest to take a look at MoonScript[2] a dynamic scripting language that compiles into Lua, you can think about it as the CoffeeScript of Lua.

- Tloewald 13y agoCodea (ios) is also nice. My first forays into Lua were hacking WoW UI components.
- jamesbritt 13y agoI got my feet wet with Lua by writing custom OSC handlers for Renoise. There were the expected "WTF?" moments but having something running and doing something practical is a great motivator.
- seclorum 13y agoLikewise! For me, it was MOAI: http://getmoai.com/ http://getmoai.com/ Since I became a Lua programmer, I really can't stand any other languages, and I've rapidly switched to it for my scripting needs. Tables are just soooo lovely. ;)
