Programming in Lua

Some interesting books... 1. What would Machiavelli do 2. The Tao of Pooh 3. The Conquest of Bread On programming or engineering? 1. Pragmatic Programmer 2. Mr. Neighborlys Humble Little Ruby Book 3. Programming in Lua I feel put on the spot. I thought there would be more but I can't think of any at the moment. If you ever make a post asking for YouTube video suggestions, I'll definitely be able to comment on that much better. There's some really helpful videos out there, featuring Alan Watts and George Thompson that have helped me tremendously when dealing with the day to day engineering stress. I find that I'm learning less about programming lately and more about dealing with the anxiety. That has always been the biggest road blocker for me, anyways. It's easy to find the motivation to sit down and read a book or write a piece of code... It's hard to always enjoy doing it.

Programming in Lua by Roberto Ierusalimschy is one of the best introductions to any programming language. Hw writes the new version along with each language release now, on the grounds that if you cannot explain it right then the language feature probably needs fixing.

"Programming in Lua", by Roberto Ierusalimschy. This is a gem of a programming book. Some of my favorite chapters: coroutines, metamethods, weak tables, threads and states. Similar in tone and clarity to K&R "The C Programming Language". I learn something new every time I flip through this book.
