Lua Training in Sioux Falls

Lua is an easy to use scripting language that is used as an embedded plugin/extension language in different products. For example, it is the embedded scripting language of network applications like nmap and wireshark, and can also be found as a scripting language in World of Warcraft, Orbiter and other games.

Lua can also be used as a standalone language. It is a lightweight, multi-paradigm programming language and therefore the course teaches various concepts that students will find useful in other areas of software engineering as well.

This course covers the basic programming constructs in Lua and contains a lot of programming exercises, so that newcomers can gain proficiency with the language, starting from scratch.

After completing the course the students will be able to write middle sized standalone Lua programs and script software products where Lua is the embedded language.

This is an advanced course on Lua, where basic knowledge of the programming language is already assumed. Therefore, this course gives the participant a more profound understanding of Lua internals and the "why" behind the used Lua idioms.

These advanced topics are demonstrated by plenty of examples and in-class exercises.

This course covers everything out there to know about Lua. We build up from the basic programming constructs, learn about advanced techniques and finally talk about embedding of Lua into other programming languages and embedding other programming languages into Lua. The course contains a lot of programming exercises, so that newcomers can gain proficiency with the language, starting from scratch.
