Learn scripting?
Hey, I want to learn luau scripting, the programming language for Roblox.
I wanted to ask if there is any book in German or a YouTuber who does German scripting tutorials.
Please also write the name of the book/YouTuber 😅
Thank you in advance
Hey CrowdedGames
I can help you get to know the programming world first, get into the technical world, watch games or programs with other eyes.
Next, you can start writing a script for a web page, do not start with lua and the game development, but the foundation of the programming world.
To do this, it must be clear that programming is very English, that everything is handled with English.
Usually I find your first target far too high to do not use the scripts of other or copy & paste, so you will not learn to program it.
To your luck I am German and a Roblox Developer for a few years when you are interested in learning it best to add to discord: nexobeats
Why so necessarily in German? Only with German sources will not come far. And you would also refresh your English
It is also English, but for me it would be best if it were German.
But as I said, it is also in English

Unfortunately, German sources are becoming a bit difficult. It might be annoying for the beginner, but you need to program English. Texts can be translated into DeepL and in videos, you can just practice it. Understanding the language comes sometime.
Short note:
I know a little about Lua, formerly through Minecraft Computercraft and nowadays because of the NeoVIM configuration, but have never done anything with Roblox or ever played it.
But to your actual question:
LUA is actually quite nice and relatively simple. Regardless of the programming language, there are some processes and patterns that are always the same. So either you get directly into lua or you are dealing with algorithms and data structures, loops, Logic Gates, Arrays & lists, variables, functions, classes (OOP), return values, parameters, etc.
To get serious understanding of programming, you just need it and it takes a piece. Good news: Simple things can be recoded with videos and instructions and it is Mega fun. But really complex things, that’s not going to happen.
As I said, I don’t know about Roblox, but I looked on YouTube once. This looks quite promising here:

Otherwise I still have English documentation, you can throw in the translator:
https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting/scripts
This is the official documentation and therefore the best you can get, as the API is described and all radio ions.
To learn LUA regardless of Roblox:
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/
Good luck and stay on it! Can be frustrating at the beginning. 🙂
Oh, I forgot. I really do not recommend books. First they cost money and the documentation is free. Besides, the language can change quickly or to Roblox, but the book is not.
This is why look more like online documentation
