you need to learn java coding first because it's java auto compiles to lua.

No you do not need to learn any language before another. Take it from someone actually majoring in Computer Science > Programming / Software Engineering

Honestly, ignore anyone that's telling you to learn a messy/difficult language that's harder to learn than the language they are telling you to learn after, is stupid.

You should go from easy to hard. Lua is relatively easy.

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Absolute_beginner%27s_guide_to_scripting

After you go through these...

http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=In-Depth_Scripting_Guide



You basically just need to learn the "concept" of programming. After that, and once you know Lua, you can actually just read the source and know what it'll do just by reading.

This tutorial is also good at introducing you to all of the things that you can use in Studio.

People saying learn Java first have no idea what they're taking about.

Learning lua for me was a great stepping stone to learning Java.

The best way to learn is to practice; yes, read the cookbook and scripting books, they're great, but practice everything you learn.

smiley is correct. Java is the computer programming language invented by James Gosling in 1994.

P.S. you're twinning me, smiley.

I've heard 'Java' is harder to learn, I know my friend is learning it, because he likes to experiment with minecraft modding.

There is no "hard" language. It all depends on your minds' ability to grasp the vass concept of the complexe structure of programming. For instance C++ is eay for me, but harder for others. Same with Java, C, and C#. Objective-C was hard for me to learn, but for others it was easy.

Like I said, there is no "hard" language. Although, there are some languages you have to be able to "memorize" a lot more with. An example with lua and Java.

Lua (basic output statement): print("Hello Scripters!")

Java (Basic output statement): class myclass{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Hello programmers!");
}
}

You can see a big difference between the two.

There may not be a "hard" language, but there are more English ones than others.

They're called "low level" and "high level".

Low level and high level are just common "nick-names" as to what the structure of the coding infrastructure is like. C++ uses is a "high-level" because of the many different combinations of coding abilities that you can interract with, plus the many many different types of functions, pre-processor directives, etc. that C++ is available to.

@^ @ your last post

I agree, I just heard it was harder to learn, but I guess it's all about that. I didn't actually start learning lua until the concept stuck into my head, now everything just makes sense.
