Hello there! I am @iWillUseTheRemote, I am a builder and 3D modeler that has been accepting commissions for a year now. I am also one of the co-owners of BluGear Development. I recently have began to become interested in learning to script, and I was wondering if books from amazon help you to learn. Please respond here. Thanks!

I would recommend just learning for free by looking at the API, DevForum posts, YouTube, schooling (not free), and other people’s code. But that is just how I learn. Everyone learns differently.

I’ve read an Amazon book about Roblox development before, and it helped a little. I learned how to use Dialog and DialogChoices, make a KillScript, and other things. I read it when I first began to learn game development.
However, there was a chapter about making quests. The chapter explained how you should make one, but not how to make one. What the heck author?
In my opinion, Youtube is better. It’s free, and helps you learn better. I would not recommend Amazon books.

Of course! Any books related to Lua programming [game development] will help you improve and understand the basic concepts of programming itself. However, please note that these books only help you understand the starter point of programming: understanding of strings, how to fix errors, dialogs, etc.
They do not completely cover everything you need to acknowledge about programming as these books comes in different, I highly suggest watching YouTube videos, or DevForum for more of a understanding concept of game development programming.
The problem with those books is Roblox is always changing their API and how code works such as the CFrame changes. You are better off using the internet for learning then spending money on a book.
