• Coding languages/environments mentioned (though there are many, many more worth checking out based on what tools you use and prefer) Python - a beginners guide, Lua (note: I didn’t find a solid introduction to Lua useful for programmers and non-programmers in the time I had… which means perhaps I should write one. Stay tuned.), JavaScript via jQuery for Designers JavaScript - at w3 Schools
