RiscLua is a dialect of the Lua programming language, with modifications and extensions to make it suitable for RISC OS. Although it has gone through many versions, the central aim behind it has remained the same: to provide a powerful but simple language, with most of the capabilities of BASIC and plenty of its own. There is extensive documentation for the Lua language. These notes aim to get the beginner started with RiscLua. They are divided into three sections: how to use RiscLua, example programs, and a language reference section to cover the examples and parts of RiscLua particular to RISC OS.
