Product Description
Product Description
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/.

Don't expect to learn Lua from this, Aug 22 2007
By M. B. Akins - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lua 5.1 Reference Manual (Paperback)
This is just a printed version of the website reference manual. Do not expect to learn Lua from this book. It is good for what it is.

Essential LUA reference, Oct 6 2008
By David C. Black - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lua 5.1 Reference Manual (Paperback)
This is a short succinct reference manual written in a clear and concise manner. It tells you everything you really need to know and not much more. There are short examples of syntax to help explain the concepts. If you need to simply write programs in LUA, then this is your choice. If you need to go deeper (e.g. embed LUA in your own application) then I recommend you get "Programming in LUA".

Great Reference Book, Sep 3 2010
By Steve G - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lua 5.1 Reference Manual (Paperback)
This is a fantastic reference book for the Lua programming language, and I keep it on my desk whenever I'm working in Lua. Please note that this is not a "learn Lua" type of book, it's just a reference manual. If you want to learn Lua then check out Programming in Lua, Second Edition
