Learning LUA

[Mr_Vonhelding]

Im trying to get into the addon game so to speak.

For starters im skipping the interface design. It jsut takes more brain power than i have to devote right now to go through reams and ream and reams of code that si far to similar to html tables than I like.

What I would like to do for a starter. To get my feet wet. Is take some macros I made up in game that i use alot and turn them into / commands via an addon.

So lets take something real simple

/say Stop laying down on the job %T
/cast Ressurection(Rank 1)

This obviously says the line then casts ressurection on my target.

So what I'd like to do is turn something like this into a / command

For example

/rt

and Poof it access the lua which in turns sends the message and then rezes my current target.

Ive got some basic Idea. But Im wondering if anyone can provide a little lesson or a link to a tutorial that might detail how to go about this?

Thank in advance
