The fundamental problem is that there are no good automated ways to install and launch an app to an iOS device. We don’t want to jailbreak our devices because that can cause other problems (like breaking push notifications and in-app purchases). I would love to be corrected (please tell me!), but otherwise, there are no command line tools Apple provides to help with this.

I know, I should not quit my day job to be a songwriter. However having said that, it is not that bad either that I cannot have some new *artistes* buy my lyrics and make some rap spelled with a big C for Carpenter in the front, songs. Anyways, this is not about song and dance, nor about how to make your own carpentry home projects, we Aussies have Bunnings and I guess the Americans have Lowes and I do not know what the British and other have, but you get the idea. This is about creating arrays and tables in Lua as requested by one particular reader of these forums. So, Darkconsoles, I am taking your request for tables and we shall try to see what tables are and how do we work and manipulate them.
Teach me how to...: If I were a carpenter... would you buy my tables?
Simple function local function main() print("Hello from CoronaSDK") end main() This shall work perfectly fine and print Hello from CoronaSDK when we run it.

Teach me how to...: CoronaUI - An amazing step for developers using CoronaSDK
CoronaSDK has a new update, an amazing development that is totally a code based solution that can be added to the project. This brings to the user the ability to create the Native UI that was missing from CoronaSDK for so long. Now developers can make apps that mimic the UI of the iOS devices, including the Switches, the screens, the lists, sliders, etc. This new rich functionality that is added is a boon for many developers that were looking for creating Enterprise / non-gamey apps.A Simplified Way to Declare Lua Classes Out of the box, Lua does not have a class system, but its powerful metaprogramming facilities makes defining classic objects straightforward. In fact, there's a number of ways of doing this; together with the unfamiliar notation, this makes object-orientation in Lua seem a little intimidating at first. The method described here is the most common and flexible method, using metatables. A table's behavior can be customized by giving it a metatable. For instance, if the metatable has an __index function, then any failed attempt to look up something in the table will be passed to __index .
