While this is all very old, I am very new to Lua programming and
specifically wxWidgets/wxLua.
I have everything in place and working, as well as wxFormBuilder and am
using it (yet more to learn).
I am used to OOP and languages like Visual Basic, Basic, C, Php, HTML,
CSS, MySQL and more, so Lua
should not really be too hard for me. However, since there is little to
no documentation for wxLua and
wxWidgets, I am pretty lost. The docs that are available, as has been
mentioned on other forums, could
literally give you a headache.
I have tried youtube for videos, but most regarding wxFormBuilder are
for C++ or Python. Due to my needs
I am using Lua 5.1 (yes, I know 5.3 is available but I need 5.1 for
crypto libraries and wxLua/wxWidgets)
and just need some help. If there are any tutorials or other easier to
read docs, books, manuals, etc
that would be great.
Specifically, I am trying to save/load and encrypt/decrypt data using
Lua and sha-256, AES or Blowfish.
I am also trying to simply code the various widgets (buttons, text
controls, etc) in Lua and having a hard
time. Something as mundane as a Login and registration form that is
usually very easy to do with a MySQL database
is giving me real grief in Lua.
I have gone through all the wxWidget samples and gleaned a small amount
of learning from them, but I am not
grasping the overall concept. I have watched Lua tutorials on YouTube
and it seems overly easy and very basic-like,
but that does not seem to be the case with wxLua and wxWidgets. I DO
NOT program in C++ and have never been
able to grasp it.
I appreciate any guidance to tech support forums or learning materials.
Thank you.
Mike
