I have been a software/web developer for many years now, but never bothered to learn LUA. I just bought a book on learning LUA through WoW addons!
I can't wait to get started!

Hello,
It wouldn't happen to be "Beginning Lua with World of Warcraft Addons", would it? ;-). Honestly, I learned a lot more just making custom things for Garry's Mod, such as a private gamemode I'm working on right now. Tell me how the book is, though, I got kinda bored after the fourth chapter :-P. I couldn't think of any original Addons I wanted to create.
When I merged from 9 years of C++ programming to attempt LUA, all it takes is reading a function and then switching it over really fast. LUA is extremely easy, and I just love programming for it. That's all I do when I get home from work other than check the forums, of course other then testing what new features I've implemented ;-).

I am a Java guy myself =)
And yup! That is the book... im just using it to wrap my brain around LUA (should be too big of a deal). I have plenty of little ideas from my guild so we shall see... I will definitely let you know how the book is though.

For the.... Horde? No,no,no.. For the Alliance :cool:
So. Both of you are doing som programing eh? Then both of you can help me out with something x)
First of all: I'm trying to learn PhP. But since i got a minor problem I can't get further into the lesson i'm at. I can't use my computer as an server. I need this to be able to see if my coding where correct. Need to se that I passed "Hello Word" thingy. x)
Second of all: Any very good sites i can learn PhP and other programing languages on? :)
Sorry my English :P
And for those of us that got little to non experience with programing: How hard is LUA? :)
And: Congrats with your book :)

kjellboy,
You don't say what OS you're running or what server you need. However, if you're running a Windows OS, you could check if Microsoft Virtual PC will install (free download from Microsoft) and if it won't, you might try VMWare. Either way, create a virtual machine and load an appropriate OS (evaluation copy of Windows Server 2008 or Linux or ...)
For the.... Horde? No,no,no.. For the Alliance :cool:
