Programming in Lua, Second Edition
Lua is the language of choice for anyone who needs a scripting language that is simple, efficient, extensible, portable, and free. Currently, Lua is being used in areas ranging from embedded systems to Web development and is widely spread in the game industry, where knowledge of Lua is an indisputable asset.
"Programming in Lua" is the official book about the language, giving a solid base for any programmer who wants to use Lua. Authored by Roberto Ierusalimschy, the chief architect of the language, it covers all aspects of Lua 5---from the basics to its API with C---explaining how to make good use of its features and giving numerous code examples. "Programming in Lua" is targeted at people with some programming background, but does not assume any prior knowledge about Lua or other scripting languages.
This Second Edition updates the text to Lua 5.1 and brings substantial new material, including numerous new examples, a detailed explanation of the new module system, and two new chapters centered on multiple states and garbage collection.

What people are saying about Kepler and Lua
- Lua - the silent new web 2.0 player?
- What the hack... In general I like Lua , because of the small size, easy to extend and embed, easy to learn. I made several simple application before, but never gone too deep in my Lua experiments. So what I found now was pretty amazing and surprized me. For me Lua seems pretty much ready for web 2.0 applications development
- Lua Workshop 2005
- A Lua workshop was held at Adobe's headquarters in San Jose, California, on July 27-28, 2005. The main goal of the workshop was to allow the Lua community (or at least part of it) to get together and meet in person and talk about the Lua language, its uses, and its implementation.
Reference on Lua
- Lua, the programming language - official web site
- Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. Lua is free software.Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
- Official Kepler Project webpage
- Kepler is a a set of components for Lua that make up a powerful Web development platform. It is also the name of the project that is developing the Kepler platform.
- LuaForge
- LuaForge, a free service to the Lua community that can be used to fully host Lua projects and as a catalog of Lua projects (see Project Tree).

I love technology. This is one of my areas of research.
I believe Kepler can be a very useful and easy programming language for the Web 2.0
