== A Series of Classes to Learn Scripting from 0 to Advanced    (34 classes and 68 P&Q) ==
I'm excited to announce the launch of three new scripting class series designed to expand your skills and creativity in Second Life! Whether you're interested in integrating with external tools or diving into the future of scripting with SLua, there's something here for you.




from October 2nd to:May 31st, all Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays
Starting on September 29th. For more information, contact the instructor Suzanna (suzannalinn) or the teaching assistant Ali (sungali).

Classes are designed so students attending only one day a week can still keep up if they study independently, although attending all three days is highly recommended.
* Teachers: Suzanna (suzannalinn) & Ali (sungali)
During the presentation session in the first week of October, there will be detailed explanations on how the classes will be structured and conducted

Already scripting in SLua? This advanced series unlocks powerful features and techniques that go far beyond what’s possible with LSL.


I will begin a series of in-world classes on LuaSL as soon as it becomes available in the Beta Grid. These classes will be oriented to scripters who primarily use LSL, and they will cover not only Lua but also introduce new programming concepts that are currently absent in LSL.


Once Lua is launched on the Main Grid, I will repeat the same series of classes, allowing you to choose the moment to start your learning journey.
==== Study Groups ====


For advanced scripters who have a solid understanding of other programming languages and don't require detailed classes, I will host script meetings and Q&A sessions, to exchange ideas and ask questions.

SLua: The New Scripting Language for SL

I'm writing an SLua guide with an overview of Lua, details on how to transition form LSL to SLua, examples and a transpiler LSL to SLua:
