APIs to Learn and in Which Order.

I have realized that after you learn the basics of Lua, you should probably start learning the APIs and how to use them efficiently. I shall make a list for beginners (my opinion):
1. Turtle - Controls turtles.
2. Terminal - Good display commands.
3. OS - General API.
4. FS - Reading and Writing.
5. Redworks (it's giant, just learn the cool stuff :(/>/>)
6. IO - General API.
7. RedNet - Internet.
8. TextUtils - Text Utilities.
9. Tomass' String Utils (Forum) - Simply amazing.
10. RS - Redstone and Bundled Cable.
The rest of it is up to you. I would say maybe the parallel or bits API.

Good luck.

Thanks for this guide! It'll help me alot in the future!

Cheers for the tip about the autorun folder:)

I say which ever order you need them.
I'm writing some network software aimed at large bases/organizations and I started with basic LUA stuff then moved on learning about basic CC stuff (Input/output) and rednet.

My opinion is yours completely reversed LOL :(/>/>

1. OS
2. Term
3. Textutils.
4. FS.
5. IO
6. Rednet und RS
7. Tomass' String Utils
8. Turtle
9. Redworks





Tried a different Order

I'll learn with an entirely different order based on what I'll find to be most helpful to me and tasks for my world.

Right now my lua is dirty, but it'll get better with practice.
