I've been using this: Programming in Lua, first edition (FREE online edition of the book) The Corona SDK forums are also good for specific issues related to the SDk itself. It seems it is having a few database problems just right now, but you might want to check it later.

Edit: just for completeness, here is the link to the Lua Bookstore @ amazon (not an affiliate link).
