I discovered Lua programming language only recently, when release 5.1 was just coming. I have been using Lua extensively since then, introducing it into our printer firmware and printer driver. My main development using the language is an application called LuaDura, which permits to run nearly every type of feature testing on current Olivetti printers.

During writing of LuaDura I reported 2 small bugs in Lua 5.1.1, that may be patched on a next release. I have also written two articles in the book Lua Programming Gems:

• Enhanced coroutines in Lua
• Lua as a protocol language

Along with three other authors, I wrote a book in French about Lua programming named Le guide Lua et ses applications by [D-Booker] editions.

I have written the following articles in this Wiki:

• CompleteWithReadline - supports completion in Lua interpreter using Readline library and Lua code
• DataDumper - dumps nearly any data into a Lua chunk string
• EasyManualLibraryLoad - a C header to simplify manual loading of Lua shared library in applications
• LuaGenericCall - a single C function able to call a Lua chunk with parameters and results retrieval

On my [GitHub] account you can find some other Lua related project.

If you want to send me e-mail, please execute the following decrypting script in Lua 5.1 or 5.2:

print(('oc mia.l@kmgrtci.naparip'):gsub('(..)(..)','%2%1'):reverse())
