For the language itself, you can try some of the stuff on
this page, though I'm not sure how up to date it is.
Keep in mind that WoW uses Lua 5.1, the most recent release version of Lua is 5.2. The two are mostly similar, but there are some major differences like the concept of function environments (getfenv/setfenv in 5.1 vs _ENV in 5.2). Function environments are a fairly advanced feature that you're not likely to use very often, though.
The
official reference manual is quite useful, but it's not a tutorial.
As for WoW-specific stuff, there's a few tutorials
here. There's also
this book, but I haven't bought it myself so I can't say how useful it is.
There's also a bunch of handy links in
this sticky.
When I was learning Lua, I mostly just learned the various features of the language as I needed them by a combination of trial and error, reading existing code and reading the documentation (the official reference manual or the
WoW API Reference as appropriate).
