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)

And what do you guys recommend I start with? Lua or Luau?

Lua and Luau are basically the same thing , though if you learn Luau it will be for Roblox scripting, while Lua is the base unmodified version of that used for coding outside of Roblox. I would Recommend you start with Luau.

This fact is somewhat true. However I advise starting with Luau even though they are similar LUA however has some major differences especially with it’s name placement. I advise starting with Luau it will be easier and less complicated especially for a beginner. Lua is a very nice language and is especially helpful towards new beginners. Out of all the languages I code in ( Java Python Lua C++) Lua has been the easiest to pick up
The book could be useful but I find it easier to watch YouTube videos and do step by step with the person. AlvinBlox Covert Code and TheDevKing are just a few of the amazing YouTubers that post Roblox content. However AlbinBlox is (in my opinion) the best for he has Scripting series that covers all the functionalities.
