That book and its website are for the addon API only. The OP's list is for private server scripting.

Yes, this was in response to the MMOwned Contest - Best Programmers, I was looking for useful resources and found this list so I posted it over here so others could attempt to learn

[tkon]

Wow, this is really helpful. I'm interested to see if all these work. I had no idea that lua was this in depth.

It doesn't stop here either lol, I'm sure there are a metric ton of more commands for the Private Server scripting, but there is also AddOns that use LUA of a different type I believe. To check out how the AddOns are made, just download them from Curse or Wowinterface or whatever you use personally, and just look at the LUA files

Hopefully this can do some good to people wanting to learn, and like I stated I take no credit for this so I don't want to be repped for it, (not trying to be an attention whore either) this was solely for learning purposes
