Mastering Roblox Coding: The unofficial guide to leveling up your Roblox scripting skills and building games using Luau programming

Roblox is a game platform with over 47 million daily active users. Something unique to Roblox is that you’re playing games made by other gamers!

Each concept is explained clearly and uses simple examples that show you how the technology is being used. This book contains additional exercises for you to experiment with the concepts you’ve learned. Using best practices, you will understand how to write and build complex systems such as databases, user input controls, and all device user interfaces. In addition, you will learn how to build an entire game from scratch.
