- or just learn Lua to be able to create your own Lua apps quickly
This complete Lua Masterclass is the course you need to do all of this, and more.
This course is designed to give you the Lua skills you need to become a Lua developer. By the end of the course, you will understand Lua extremely well and be able to build your own Lua apps and be productive as a computer scientist and software developer.
What makes this course a bestseller?
Like you, thousands of others were frustrated and fed up with fragmented Youtube tutorials or incomplete or outdated courses which assume you already know a bunch of stuff, as well as thick, college-like textbooks able to send even the most caffeine-fuelled coder to sleep.
Like you, they were tired of low-quality lessons, poorly explained topics, and confusing info presented in the wrong way. That’s why so many find success in this complete Lua developer course. It’s designed with simplicity and seamless progression in mind through its content.This course assumes no previous coding experience and takes you from absolute beginner core concepts. You will learn the core Lua skills and master functional programming. It's a one-stop shop to learn Lua. If you want to go beyond the core content you can do so at any time.
Here’s just some of what you’ll learn
(It’s okay if you don’t understand all this yet, you will in the course)
All the essential Lua keywords, facts, relations, arguments and expressions needed to fully understand exactlywhat you’re coding and why - making programming easy to grasp and less frustrating.
You will learn the answers to questions like What is a Lua database, What are rules and models and to apply them to your Lua apps.
Functions and Main Structure of Pattern Matching Systems along with dealing with uncertainty and knowledge representation.
Complete chapters on Functional programming and many aspects of the Lua Recursive mechanism (the protocols and tools for building applications) so you can code for all platforms and derestrict your program’s user base.
How to develop powerful Lua applications using Advanced Tree Representations and Module-Directed Programming.
What if I have questions?
As if this course wasn’t complete enough, I offer full support, answering any questions you have each day of the week.
This means you’ll never find yourself stuck on one lesson for days on end. With my hand-holding guidance, you’ll progress smoothly through this course without any major roadblocks.
There’s no risk either.
This course comes with a full guarantee. Meaning if you are not completely satisfied with the course or your progress, simply let me know and I’ll refund you 100%, every last penny no questions asked.
