I usually don't comment much but I just had to because the video was the perfect example of a crash course that is aimed at non-beginner programmers. Fast, well explained, clear, to the point, highlight the difference between common programming languages. Really well done.

@borgiedude 3 года назад

Well said. This is exactly what I needed.

@JabirAH 2 года назад

Same thoughts.

@KManAbout 2 года назад

Somethings I would have liked to see were things like if there are generators, classes, decorators, anonymous functions etc.

@patjustpat8178 2 года назад

what he said

@ivanjijon8647 4 месяца назад

And it has some misleading information too, as a bonus

@illuminum8576 Месяц назад

Finally a short video that explains everything well, and is made for people that already now other programming languages. Absolutely fantastic

@fredfred9847 4 года назад

Great video as usually coding videos are hours long but this is the nice fast pace i want

@solarwater3298 Год назад

Google is a terrible site

@sparklees1 17 дней назад

I already know how to code with python, c# and c++, and I can already tell this video is fantastic. Straightforward for those who already know concepts of programming! Well done.

@sir_no_name1478 4 года назад

You saved so much of my time. Thanks dude. I need to learn Lua for Open computers ^^

@rain_sq 2 года назад

bro this is actually helpful cuz i aint trying to watching a beginner tutorial when im already a software engineering college student and too lazy to read documents on this… thanks for the crash course

@sparklees1 17 дней назад

same! i'm a c# + c++ coder, and this tutorial is perfect for me lol

@antoniomasotti8060 6 месяцев назад

I wished there were more such videos for "less known" languages. As developer is always so annoying to go through all those tutorials that explain for the 100th time what a var or a loop is... Very well done!

@list9016 2 года назад

This is perfect, you just need to learn one language decently well and you can learn others in a really small amount of time. Thanks for the tutorial!

@shanerj4410 2 года назад

This was awesome! I've learned the basics of python and was able to follow just about everything just reading your examples and what I didn't understand I did when I unpaused it and listen to you explain. Would love to see videos like this for other languages!

@JabirAH 2 года назад

A perfect crash course to get the idea of what Lua is instead of watching hours of tutorials.

@quasigod1083 2 года назад

This is an awesome video, it can be tough to find guides for new languages that aren't made for complete beginners to programming. Thank you!

@eezara961 3 года назад

I'm a complete beginner and this video has helped me a lot and solved my various doubts. Well!! Thank You

@Muskar2 3 года назад

Almost everything I needed to know with very little wasted time. Much appreciated!

@cheffromspace9771 3 года назад

Perfectly paced and exactly what I needed with no fluff.

@aoli2182 3 года назад

Concise, quick, organized. Love it.

@InfoSecDojo 3 года назад

another language that i can add in my resume 🐎🐎 thanks

@jayel9809 Год назад

Currently interviewing for a AAA game studio that uses Lua to build their interfaces (I have a FE/Javascript background). This was exactly what I needed to get a sense of what that would look like 👌

@490o 3 года назад

Finally a tutorial that doesn't hand-hold you through the entire thing. It's so annoying especially if you already know how to program.

@ozzyfromspace Год назад

Surprised how well this crash course was. I now understand the basics of lua. You rock, friend!

@garychike266 2 года назад

Good! Except one possible oversight: 10/2 = 5 is incorrect. Lua 5.3 distinguishes between floats and integers. 10//2 = 5 is correct with two forward slashes (//) and performs the integer division like C and C-based languages. 10/2 = 5.0 defaults to a float(real) division like Pascal and Pascal-based languages.

interesting

@NilsKullberg 3 года назад

As advertised, a crash course. Just the way it should be done. Thanks!

@TheHobbit28 3 года назад

For someone who knows how to program this is a really cool Crash Course :) Thanks a lot

@FifthSparkGaming 2 года назад

Perfectly paced course for those who know how to code and can't sit still for more than a minute. Thanks for this!

@matthewwoodruff3563 3 года назад

I usually do not comment, and I just had to say thank you! This was extremely well done!

@stevelitt 3 года назад

Perfect concise explanation! Thanks for sharing this!

@benzenatizineeddine7816 3 года назад

you just saved me 3 hours of learning things a already know. thank you dude

@mist7293 2 года назад

I really needed this, im coming from js and ive been looking for a good video to take me off of the difference between lua and js. Thank you 😊

@cordelldev 2 года назад

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you.

@jkobain 3 года назад

04:29 - I must note that «not x == 10» is equivalent neither to «not (x == 10)», nor to «x ~= 10»; in fact, «not» precedes the equality check. I think in section 3.4.7 they covered it. So instead you're trying to compare «not x» to «10», which will yield false any day of the week.

@mr_legendaryguy9870 3 года назад

Great video, perfect for just getting a quick idea of what the language can and can't do.

@marinac.ll.4840 2 года назад

Brilliant explanation! Thank you very much

@spyh4rd 2 года назад

This is literally exactly what I need. Thank you so much

@montoyabaezdiegoricardo5450 Год назад

I hate when I try to learn another language and every course starts with programming learning instead of the language. Thank you :D

@yourcatboymaid 2 года назад

@oscarjeans4119 2 года назад

This is a great crash course, exactly the kind of thing people like me who love to jump in a learn whilst doing need to get off the ground. But also alot of the stuff you mentioned were weird, to me they just look alot like VBA. But i guess they are both scripting languages

@callmehsarah2924 3 года назад

amazing video! perfect length for me:D

@LRTOTAL 3 года назад

Why they went with the ~= for inequality is a mistery to me. Not all keyboard layouts have the ~ key, for example my keyboard doesn't. Edit: Apparently it's not a problem anymore: I found out that you can use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) to create a layout and add any ascii/unicode character to any key! It's so cool. So I don't have to use Alt+126 to write ~ anymore.

@thenecroking6170 2 года назад

I mean you can also pull out an on-screen keyboard

@LRTOTAL 2 года назад

@@thenecroking6170 Yes but at that point it's quicker to use Alt+126 Or do the MSKLC thing once and get ~ mapped to the keyboard permanently

@dennisdecoene 2 года назад

Good overview of the what and how but not of the why. What can you use it for?

@ironmanlifts 3 года назад

Thanks for the tutorial. I was wondering what the hash was lol. Basically, it allows you to Enumerate like in python as long as you use the hash and declare the counter. Vimscript should have gotten some tips from lua, all the functions end with 'endfunction' , 'endfu'.

I have so many scripts of a game called Worms3D, but they are all in .LUB files. There is a good way to read the configs of each map (every script) of that files? How I have to manage to convert the Lub files into Lua files?

I would like to have this cheat sheet printed in paper for reference. The link in the description takes me to the github, but it's not easy to print and keep the formating. Can you help me?

@fadijabr8992 3 года назад

I did programming in Pascal in the 90s. It seems Lua is resurrecting Pascal from the past. Anyone who knows Pascal sure will agree with me.

@borgiedude 3 года назад

It also seems to share some simlarities with LISP with the use of tables / lists and no variable types. Admittedly that's where the similarity to LISP ends.

@absmustang Год назад

Turbo Pascal used to be the sh!t then suddenly nobody cared. Beautiful language.

@044_sanketpalchaudhary_mec8 3 года назад

hi, I had a small if you can pls solve, at the place where you explain if statement you have commented that the print statement will not be executed, why is it so?? Also a great video loved, helped a lot :)

@Cumaran Год назад

I think that is a mistake (at 2:40) and a similar mistake at 3:50. Seems to have mixed up the < and > signs.

@idrissberchil25 3 года назад

@vulcalien-priv-abc 3 года назад

Nice tutorial. Really good for just reminding basic concepts of this simple language. But... why global variables are done like that? Just not using "local" makes them global, as much as I know.
