I was excited to learn Lua so I could make games
with the <a href="http://love2d.org/">Love 2D game engine</a>. That's the why.
-I started with <a href="http://nova-fusion.com/2012/08/27/lua-for-programmers-part-1/">BlackBulletIV's Lua for programmers</a>.
+I started with <a href="https://ebens.me/post/lua-for-programmers-part-1/">BlackBulletIV's Lua for programmers</a>.
Next I read the official <a href="http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html">Programming in Lua</a> book.
That's the how.
