The best introduction is:

  http://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/pil2/

This book is really worth its money.  The first edition of the book
(describing Lua 5.0) is available online:

  http://www.lua.org/pil/

The tutorials are very helpful too:

  http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory

The LuaTeX manual describes LuaTeX specific extensions.

Enjoy programming in Lua!

Regards,
  Reinhard
