Roblox has a coding fundamentals course that seems decent: https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals
It should teach you the basics of writing code. If you want a more advanced understanding I recommend looking into the other non-roblox resources I've linked.

Once you understand how to script you can read the documentation

• Roblox documentation: https://create.roblox.com/docs
• Luau documentation: https://create.roblox.com/docs/scripting

I don't recommend watching tutorials for roblox, most of them are terrible and will teach you bad concepts.

Some other useful resources. These won't teach you roblox luau specifically but they will teach you important concepts that will all carry over to roblox.

• (easier) Teaches javascript and basic programming concepts. https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/programming
• (harder) Teaches C, Python, & SQL. It covers advanced concepts and how to write good code (which is very important!) https://cs50.harvard.edu/x/2024/
• Language agnostic introduction to gamedev. (Good advice on how to actually finish games) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-iST0a69cI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2n_VRa-00g

be careful of getting stuck in tutorial hell, i would recommend dissecting the tutorials to see what does what, along with actually learning what each expression does.

just copying and pasting from tutorials is not going to get you anywhere, neither is memorizing chunks of code.

The doc IS the best

Just read the doc and watch YouTube tutorials
