If you're new to LUA programming and want to get started here are some resources for you.

If you're interested in creating a Garry's Mod addon you should check out the following.

But before starting to create addons for games I suggest you take a look at this first.

Examples

Here are a few examples of code from the links above.

Code:
// This is a function that takes in strings and other data types.
 
 print("Example!")
 
 // You can create a function like this.
 
 function example(name){
 
 print("Your name is " ..example.. ".")
 
 }
 
 example(Jeff)
 
 // This will output something like this "Your name is Jeff." in the game console.
 
 // As you saw from the example above we can concatenate strings and variables togheter by using ".." togheter.

That's it for this short example and resources you can use.
