Exclamation Learning LUA

Were is a good place to find tutorials on LUA, I want to learn it to make a couple little addons. I downloaded the InterfaceAddon_Kit Blizzard made, but don't get how to use it. What is it? all the functions the default UI does in LUA and XML?

any help is GREATLY appreciated

Sweet, thanks.

Are there any sites that have tutorials for coding addons for WoW? or will those pretty much cover it?

the lua site is about the lua scripting language in general. On WoWWiki you'll find all the API and some tutorials/examples for how to do it in the WoW environment. One of the best ways to learn is to look through the code of some of your favorite (simple) addons.

Read the short lua book. It's the best way to really learn lua. It is imperative that you have a strong command of the language before you try to write an addon.
