Hey,

I was just wanting to know what your advice would be to learn Roblox Lua. I want to learn it to as high as possible, I come from a background in Python and a little bit of HTML and JavaScript. I was wondering how I should go about this?

I like tutorials as well as just reading API docs but especially when they have direction and examples.

Thanks,

A summarization of all posts ever about this topic :

To learn Lua just invest time and effort with a genuine interest.

Watch tutorials and use the Forum and the Developer Hub for explanations on what’s being done with the code, also choose from various free plugins and websites that also help you learn it. You can also use free models to see code used for achieving certain things and research about what’s being done, though cautiously .

Here are all the resources :

Developer Hub : developer.roblox.com

I personally think that the best way to learn Roblox Lua is to look at tutorials, look at open-source code, Lua websites in general, and reading the Roblox developer wiki. Viewing, reading and editing code slowly makes you learn it.
