Lua is an extremely useful scripting language. You can learn more about it at their Wiki.

The Reference Manual is a useful resource for finding out about the syntax and basic commands, but is a little heavy-going if you've not got a programming background.

Check also the Lua Book.

QDE is a useful IDE for developing Lua code, but sadly doesn't include a debug mode to test scripts with. BLua is under development and will, in time, hopefully provide a useful IDE for WoW Lua script development.
