How much will going through the, "Programming in Lua (first edition)" help me in Roblox? [closed]
This is what I'm referring to: http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html
I want to know if that would be worth my time if I'm strictly only using Lua in roblox considering that was made WITHOUT roblox in mind.
Also; maybe some tips on how to follow the guide and test what Im learning in roblox?

Learning Lua Coding alone may help you with the background information with Roblox. Actually, I think it's a great start if you want to use roblox as your client software to code through. Of course, coding in LUA shell limits your use of the code itself.
Going through this tutorial will make learning in roblox 10x easier I can gurantee you this, once you've learnt everything from the LUA Coding, you just need to relearn it in roblox and it would take you at least a week to finish off the whole programming session.
It's certainly not a bad resource, and going through it wouldn't be a bad idea.
However, I've found the explanations themselves on that site to be pretty poorly done. They use a lot of big vocabulary words and don't go very step-by-step. I've always considered the tutorials on the roblox wiki to be much more helpful.
But again, it can't hurt.
The free online edition of PIL on Lua.org is for Lua 5.0. ROBLOX uses 5.1, and there are a few minor changes.
Sections 12, 15, 21, 22, 23, and all of Part IV are not relevant to ROBLOX.
It is a fairly precise piece of documentation. If you are willing to pay close attention and really understand what's going on in Lua, PIL will be a good resource for you.
