Learning Lua

[ScroolooseUK]

Hello, i have been after learning to make my own wow addons for years now. As I am due to start studying a four year degree in computer games development in September, i was thinking Lua would be the perfect language to start with so I can get a head start for University

I bought a book called Warcraft Programming (2nd edition) by James Whitehead and Rick Roe but this book was written in the days of WOTLK and is a bit out of date for live servers and a bit too advanced for 1.12.1 servers. Even though the book explains the Lua language well, there is no example exercises for me to do to practice the code.

Does anyone have any experience in learning Lua that can give me advice the best way to learn?

Kind Regards
