Am I the only one that has trouble with the EvilMana site?
(After clicking on a few sections it always says "Yahoo has encountered a problem" then it closes all the internet windows.)

Lua is easier to learn but is limiting to what you can do with it. What is your overall intention to learning a programming language?

Hobby? Career? PSP programming? Console Programming?

I would honestly say if you are just starting out about learning programming then stick with the PC platform for now and learn either Python / PyGame (which is a scripting language like Lua but far more powerful) or C / C++.

If you do decide for C / C++, refer to my lengthy post here: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=171233&postcount=5

However Python/PyGame should not be overlooked:
