Look, I don’t mean to be rude, but before making something like this (especially in written format), you should gain a bit more depth of programming. I read the first few pages of the document and could find many conceptual, organization and typographical errors, too many infact to nitpick. Again, I completely don’t want to demotivate you by saying this; your intention is good, but implementation is lacking. Read up a few more devforum posts. Go through official documentation. Learn a bit of core lua (outside roblox) so that you know the actual purpose of some lua specifics generally ignored by roblox developers. Again, you do not need all this for Roblox development, but in order to write up a comprehensive and consistent guide, a lot of deep knowledge is required.
