Could be, but I feel like people overestimate how hard it is to get into scripting. I mean, personally I just watched youtube tutorials and it worked out fine.
(Also, fyi; roblox uses luau, not lua - a variation of lua)

So your saying Roblox has their own Lua Programming Language?
Yep. it is based off of Lua, but it has a few changes. You can find plenty of youtube tutorials for Luau (look up Roblox Programming tutorial or something)

Roblox Lua is a little more upgraded than normal lua it might be that the book wont cover some aspects of LuaU coding and game services.

So there aren’t any book about Luau? I heard some people say books are better than videos.

The way people learn something is entirely based on them - some might find videos easier, some might find books, tutors, whatever else easier. I would recommend trying videos first though since it’s free (alvinblox or the devking have some good tutorials for example)

This book will help for learning lua in scripting but I personally just use YouTube for scripts and stuff.
