After getting further in the book I'd say having basic java/c#/c++ knowledge should make this all way easier. As I had some trouble understanding some of the words used in the book (most likely because english isn't my main language).

I always have been more of a hands on learner though, and I do have the book around just for reference.

Sorry for going slightly offtopic here but you made an awesome job on your oUF layout.
Back on-topic, the method described above is even better to really practice but I think you should atleast read the first 7 chapters of the book to have a understanding of the LUA/XML basics rather than blindly copying/recycling code.
Tho, all-in-all LUA doesn't really seem like a hard language and could be learned quickly.
