Hi,

My name is Brandon LaRouche, CEO of Double Trouble Studio.

Double Trouble Studio is the creator of many ROBLOX iOS applications. Now, we are releasing a ROBLOX Lua book on multiple platforms.

Currently, the book was just released on the Kindle. You can find the book on Amazon.

Soon the book will be released as an iBook, Nook Book, and Paperback (Black&White or Color editions).

The Kindle ebook version is the same as the Paperback would be, in an ebook format.

You can buy the book on the Kindle or Kindle app for other devices for $6.99.

In the book are 38 chapters with 16 tutorials. Each tutorial has it's own explanation which goes into detail about the ideas discussed.

The description:

Inside of this book are explanations to the
basics of Lua Programming. ROBLOX Lua is the language of an online game known as ROBLOX. This book will certainly not turn you into ROBLOX's best game creator over-night but it will start you on your journey to a successful ROBLOX experience.

As you progress through this book you will face a pattern of the content inside each chapter. Most often you will complete a tutorial and then have a chapter of explanalions related to either the chapter you had just finished, or the upcoming chapter.

By the end of this book you should be familiar with the ROBLOX Studio. You should also be able to complete basic scripts with the knowledge of the format of scripts. I do not expect you to be ROBLOX's best programmer, but you will know the basic necessities to begin a successful time in ROBLOX.

Will it be released as an apple app for iphones, ipods etc? I think you should release it in the app store as I'm sure youll get lots more sales from it in the app store.

Yes, it will soon be released in the iBook store. It has been submitted and is under review.

Also, the book will be available in Canada. I think the Kindle version is, and the future iBook, Nook, and Paperback should be too.

@Lord You can currently buy the Kindle version on Amazon (Website)

@RoBlox ROBLOX has added their own simplified methods and functions unique to the game, so a normal Lua book would not use the same concepts.
