What's the best way to learn Lua with no past coding experience?
I'm in no rush to learn the language

If you do not have any coding experience. I highly recommend you learn the fundamentals like
-Variables ( local VARAIBLE_NAME = VALUE; )
-Data Types ( Integer, String, Object, Array )
-Functions and Function Calls
-Operators
--Arthemetic Operators ( + , - , *, / , %)
--Increment/Decrement Operators ( ++, -- )
--Relational Operators ( <, > , == )
--Logical Operators ( AND( && ), OR( || ), NOT( ! ) )
--Assignement Operators ( = )
--Arithemetic Assignment Operators ( +=, *= , -= , /= )
-Arrays And it's Methods ( local VARAIBLE_NAME = [ITEM_IN_INDEX_1,ITEM_IN_INDEX_2..] )
-Loops (for loop , while loop etc)
-If Else Statements
-Objects ( local VARAIBLE_NAME = { KEY_1/PROPERTY_1: VALUE, KEY_2/PROPERTY_2: VALUE...} )
It's your choice which langauge you want to start with, i would recommand easier languages like javascript (Extremely simple and straight forward langauge).

I would recommend that you would view some online tutorials.
You can also look in free models and have a look at the code.
Also, in roblox studio. There is a tab called the object browser. That will tell you about anything.
It's in alphabetical order and you can use your keyboard to navigate, similar to a dictonary but for LUA scripts.
A good start would be this series: Beginner Series
Once you have learned the basics. You can attempt to make your own game or use this series
to make a game that's more mature.. you can do a simulator if you want though.
Make a doors game: Doors
Make a simulator: Simulator
(simulator tutorial is a bit cringe lol)
After that, go make games.. or exploits. I honestly don't care about the end result.
You do not need to focus on Terrain if your wanting to learn coding.
