I could say, that I have mastered GUI’s and camera munipliation, but am I a beginner at everything else, I need to learn everything so I can put it all together at once.

Yes, most of these videos are for beginners, but some of them have useful information I tend to look back on when I forget.

If you’re Beginner I recommend learning a :

  • While loops
  • For loops
  • Repeat loops
  • Remote Events
  • Remote Functions
  • If statemens
  • Global Services : Marketplace,DataStoreservice,Debris, TweenService

All these basics you can find on AlvinBlox channel, or TheDevKing

Learn datastore and how to add and use module code.
Learn how manipulate strings and tables

Try to recreate simple systems like a combat system, round system etc and this is probably the best and fastest way to learn.

Also checkout https://developer.roblox.com and explore the API part.

Supporting what you said, I might like to add a few things:

  • Metatables
  • HttpService
  • Oriented object programming
  • Mathematical functions (math.abs(), math.sin(), math.clamp(), math.pow())

If you are a beginner, it is always good to start off watching YouTube videos.
I recommend watching AlvinBlox, Okeanskiy and TheDevKing.
When finishing learning the basics of Lua, you can start looking at the Roblox API or on Developer Forum Community Tutorials. I believe every Roblox programmer should specialize in:

  • Metatables
  • Mathematical functions
  • Services (HttpService, TweenService, etc)
  • If statements
  • While & For loops
  • Lua globals (assert(), next(), pcall(), etc)

It is always good to know the Lua library is huge (I don’t comapre it to other programming languages), and you can be a programmer for 5 years and still continue to learn new things.
Good luck! :slight_smile:
