SLua is the future of scripting in Second Life—and it's already live on the Beta Grid!
This series starts from the ground up and is designed to get you comfortable with the new Lua-based scripting system.


Discover how to connect Second Life scripts with Google’s suite of tools!
This class focuses on solving a common challenge in LSL: the limited ability to store and manage data inworld. By integrating with Google Docs and Apps Script, you can break past those restrictions and expand your scripting potential.


We will learn how to:
==== SLua - Advanced (12 classes + 12 practices) ====


* Access and update Google Spreadsheets from LSL
* Dates: September 29th - December 18th
* Use Google Apps Script to process and return data to your scripts
* Generate Google Slides as an alternative method of presenting or delivering information back to users
* Access external web functionalities that LSL cannot reach on its own


Ideal for creators looking to build powerful tools, dashboards, or systems that interact with data beyond the grid.
* Day: Mondays (theory) and Thursdays (practice)


* Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm SLT


 
* Level: intermediate in LSL, enough knowledge of SLua to rewrite LSL scripts
