I have to say this "Programming in Lua" by Robert Ierusalimschy is certainly helping me understand some of the areas I was grey on and why what I thought was the correct syntax is correct but for another function. I've spent this morning (when the manual finally arrived late thanks to a darn postal strike in the UK) going "OHHHHH.. That's what I was doing wrong" or "Damn! I didn't realise that!" (I tend to talk to manuals and argue with computers while programming... sad but true).
Darn good manual and an easy read too... Thanks for recommending it Rob.
I really think you should put a "Recommended Reading" sticky up as it is something pretty core to the advanced usage of Girder and NetRemote. But let them know that Girder and NetRemote use Lua version 5.0 (and not 5.1 which is the current version). Oh and also that the first edition of Progamming in Lua is for 5.0 and the second edition is for 5.1 (I got the second edition before you told me but it's even pointing out 5.1 functions that aren't in 5.0 so that's ok too).
