Learn Lua in a Weekend! This book is a "mini" language reference on the Lua programming language. Lua is one of the most popular embedded programming languages, and it is widely used as a scripting language in many applications. We go through all salient features of Lua, as a standalone programming language in this book. Although the book is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Lua language (but not necessarily all the gory details) if you are familiar with some basic syntax of Lua. The book covers * Lua standalone interpreter. * Lua program execution. Modules. * Types, literals, variables. * Expressions, functions, statements. * Tables, arrays. * Metatables, metamethods. * Iterators. * Concurrency. * Lua standard libraries. Order your copy today!
Improve Your Haskell Programming Skills in a Weekend! This book is a "mini" language reference on Haskell, which is one of the most widely used (pure) functional programming languages. We go through all salient features of the modern Haskell programming language in this book (based on the Haskell 2010 Language Report).

Learn Rust the Right Way! This book is a mini language reference on the Rust programming language. We go through all essential features of Rust 2021 Edition (and some newer language features) in this book. Rust is one of the most powerful languages, originally created for low-level systems programming. Rust is now widely used in other areas as well, such as Web application development. Rust is, in fact, one of the most popular/loved languages among developers. (And yet, it is one of the most difficult programming languages to learn.) This book is specifically written for * Experienced programmers who are new to Rust, or * Beginning Rust programmers who want to learn various fundamental concepts in Rust programming. That is, if you have some prior experience with Rust or other similar languages like C++ or Haskell, etc., then this book is for you. This book is, however, ultimately a "language reference", and it is not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * Rust crates. * Rust program items. * Names and variables. * Ownership and borrowing. * Blocks, scopes, lifetimes. * Types, traits, generics. * Special types, special traits. * Expressions. Statements. * Pattern matching. * Error handling. * Common macros. * Builtin attributes. Order your copy today and learn Rust the right way!
Learn Golang Essentials in a Weekend! Go is one of the most powerful, and yet the simplest, modern programming languages. We go through all important features of the modern Go programming language (as of 1.18 and 1.19 - 2022), including generics!! Why Go? * Go is a simple, easy to learn and use, beginner-friendly high-level programming language. * Go is suitable for low-level systems programming, traditionally done by low level languages like C. * Go is one of the most popular languages in modern Web services and application development. * Go is one of the most widely used CLI application languages for system administration and network management. * Go is fun! Although the book is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Go language (but not necessarily all the gory details) if you have some prior experience with programming in Go or other similar C-style languages. The book covers * Go toolchain. Workspaces, modules. * Go program execution model. Packages. * Variable, constant declarations. * Builtin types, builtin functions. * Structs, interfaces. Generic types. * Functions, methods. Generic functions. * Expressions and statements. * Goroutines.

This reference manual is 103 pages long. The reference manual is the official definition of the Lua language. For a complete introduction to Lua programming, see the book Programming in Lua by Roberto Ierusalimschy. Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically-typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

Lua 5.1 Reference Manual by Roberto Ierusalimschy,Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo,Waldemar Celes Pdf
This manual is the official definition of Lua 5.1. It covers Lua's syntax and semantics, the full API with C, and the standard libraries. Lua is an extension programming language designed to support general procedural programming with data description facilities. It also offers good support for object-oriented programming, functional programming, and data-driven programming. Lua is intended to be used as a powerful, light-weight scripting language for any program that needs one. Lua is implemented as a library, and is highly portable, being written in clean C (that is, in the common subset of ANSI C and C++). This printed version contains the full text of the eletronic version, available at http: //www.lua.org/manual/.
Authored by Roberto Ierusalimschy, the chief architect of the language, this volume covers all aspects of Lua 5---from the basics to its API with C---explaining how to make good use of its features and giving numerous code examples. (Computer Books)
Beginning Lua Programming by Kurt Jung,Aaron Brown Pdf
This book is for students and professionals who are intrigued by the prospect of learning and using a powerful language that provides a rich infrastructure for creating programs. No programming knowledge is necessary to benefit from this book except for the section on Lua bindings, which requires some familiarity with the C programming language. A certain comfort level with command-line operations, text editing, and directory structures is assumed. You need surprisingly little in the way of computer resources to learn and use Lua. This book focuses on Windows and Unix-like (including Linux) systems, but any operating system that supports a command shell should be suitable. You'll need a text editor to prepare and save Lua scripts. If you choose to extend Lua with libraries written in a programming language like C, you'll need a suitable software development kit. Many of these kits are freely available on the Internet but, unlike Lua, they can consume prodigious amounts of disk space and memory.
