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.
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:


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.

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.

About me

Hi, I'm Suzanna, a teacher of scripting in-world, and a programmer in real life.


Classes

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.
