ONLamp.com is running an article entitled "Introducing Lua", by Keith Fieldhouse. Lua is a dynamically-typed scripting language offering object-oriented capabilities, designed for extending applications.

The article gives a brief introduction to the goals of Lua and the implementation, and also lists some notable users. The basics of the language are covered, including a number of examples. There is also some discussion of embedding and extending Lua, as well as links to Lua-related resources that may be useful.
