The Lua Programming Language for IoT - Hands On

For our second class, we will begin to look at the Lua language in depth. We will look at all of the basic constructs, including variables and program flow, and show some examples of each and how we can test some basic programs as we go along.

In this leadoff class, we will look briefly at the ESP8266 chip and the various Node MCU boards that are available with the chip. We will then discuss the history of the Lua language and how it is used for programming various applications.
