## About Corona SDK | ||
|
||
Corona SDK is a commercial software product from Corona Labs. It's free to use | ||
to make games for yourself but requires a paid yearly subscription to put | ||
applications in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. | ||
|
||
The complete documentation as well as many tutorials and guides for Corona SDK | ||
is available at <http://docs.coronalabs.com>. | ||
|
||
Help with Corona applications can come from StackOverflow questions tagged with | ||
"corona": <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/corona> or from the | ||
official Corona forums: <http://forums.coronalabs.com/>. Neither Corona's forums | ||
nor StackOverflow are moderated by Coder Dojo so make sure you get permission | ||
before creating accounts and participating in discussions yourself. In the | ||
future we may have a Coder Dojo discussion forum that is moderated by us. Stay | ||
in touch with <http://www.coderdojosv.com/> for the latest updates. | ||
|
||
## About Lua | ||
|
||
The [introduction to Lua][itl] from this course is a good start for using the | ||
Lua programming language with Corona. | ||
|
||
The complete Lua reference manual is available from | ||
<http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/> but it can be a bit daunting at times. Earlier | ||
editions of the book are free. The most recent free book is always available | ||
online at <http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html>. | ||
|
||
You can also check the [Lua tag on StackOverflow][so-lua]. | ||
|
||
## About iOS Programming | ||
|
||
When programming specifically for Apple devices, you can still use Corona SDK | ||
and continue writing in Lua. However, you might want the power of using Apple's | ||
native tools and the Objective C programming language. Apple's developer | ||
program is the only way to access documentation and tools required to build iOS | ||
programs and applications. If you just want to dip your toes in the pool and try | ||
Objective C, [Code School][] has a [Try Objective-C][] and [Try iOS][] courses | ||
available. Try iOS costs money but the author of this document is a regular | ||
student of Code School courses and recommends them highly. | ||
|
||
If you can remember all the way back to the first session, we set up | ||
provisioning profiles and certificates when building for iOS. To do this | ||
yourself requires an Apple Developer account which costs $100 per year. You can | ||
continue using the profile we created to build applications but it is limited to | ||
devices you added to the provisioning profile during that night. If you have any | ||
trouble or questions with the iOS build requirements contact [Coder Dojo SV | ||
HQ][cdsv]. | ||
|
||
## About Android Programming | ||
|
||
You can, of course, continue using the Corona SDK to create Android programs and | ||
games. The Android development tools are freely available from Google and might | ||
be interesting to you. You can get them from | ||
<https://developer.android.com/index.html>. The [Android Developer's Guide][adg] | ||
might also be interesting to you. | ||
