The GrandMA 2 and 3 are without any doubt the most versatile and powerfull consoles in the world. However, there are things that even these giants cannot do without the help of a plugin, a small program that can be launched from inside the console itself. In this course Initiation to Lua GrandMA2/3 we teach how to use the Lua computer language to create custom plugins that will help you save a lot of programming time or even perform tasks that are impossible or unfeasible without it, multiply the power of console software. Starting from the principles of computer programming and the configuration of the development system, you will learn in theory and practice everything you need to write plugins successfully.
