Learning objectives

  • Master metatables for flexible object-oriented programming
  • Optimize performance with LuaJIT and advanced garbage collector
  • Develop coroutines to manage asynchronous concurrency
  • Integrate Lua with C via FFI for fast native extensions
  • Create reusable modules and test complex scripts
  • Analyze and debug advanced Lua code in production

Our social commitment

A school kit donated to a child for every training

To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.

  • Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
  • Distributed through our partner charities
  • Included, at no extra cost to you

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this training, your Lua scripts risk cumulative memory leaks leading to 30% less performance on long-running apps, unmanaged coroutine bugs causing 40% of production crashes as seen in 60% of junior Lua devs, x3 time lost on FFI debugging, non-optimized modules inflating server costs by 25% annually, competitive lag against expert LuaJIT teams, video game project failures with estimated client losses of 50k€ per major incident.

Program

Module 1Lua Metaprogramming: Metatables and Meta-Methods (Lua 5.4 Tools, OOP Exercises)

Dive into metatables to simulate inheritance and overloading, code dynamic classes with practical exercises on Lua games, manipulate environments for secure sandboxes, produce a testable OOP module by end of day, while learning common pitfalls for robust and scalable code.

Module 2Performance and Concurrency: LuaJIT, Coroutines (Benchmarks, Profiling)

Accelerate your scripts with LuaJIT by compiling JIT bytecode, profile the garbage collector to reduce pauses by 70%, implement coroutines for smooth asynchronous tasks, test on real cases like game servers, generate performance reports and optimize a personal project for immediate gains.

Module 3Advanced Integrations: FFI, C Modules, Debugging (LuaRocks, Production Cases)

Call native C libraries via FFI to boost I/O performance, package modules with LuaRocks for professional distribution, integrate Lua into embedded apps, debug memory leaks on real logs, deliver a complete tested addon ready for your critical video game or IoT projects.

Evaluation method

  • Daily technical quizzes
  • Graded final project
  • Self-assessment of skills

Learning method

  • Practical exercises 70%
  • Real industry cases
  • Video replay support

Methods, materials and delivery

The Advanced Lua Training - Optimize Scripts and Performance in 3 Days program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Advanced Lua Training - Optimize Scripts and Performance in 3 Days program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Advanced Lua Training - Optimize Scripts and Performance in 3 Days program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
