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.

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

[awamaty]

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.

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

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

[sir_no_name]

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

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!

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

[shanerj]

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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 👌

[FifthSparkGaming]

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

[TheHobbit]

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

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.

[NilsKullberg]

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

[InfoSecDojo]

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