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

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.

I posted on this topic a while ago but I’d like to make note that this is Lua which will hep a little. Roblox uses Luau which is a version of Lua

Same. Time really does fly by. I love this topic.
I read a different book to learn coding.
https://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Roblox-Coding-Book-Unofficial/dp/1507217889/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2ULU69D42WGA9&keywords=Roblox+coding+book&qid=1678557005&sprefix=roblox+coding+bo%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1
Although programming books are very useful, my suggestion is to use the book as a guide instead of learning programming from the book. You can take courses instead of books, try to develop projects, or examine and tinker with open source projects.
