Looks like it was published fairly recently:

Bet lets not forget this work of MS paint artistry

Yeah, nowadays the Internet is full of tutorials on Lua and even specifically on ROBLOX Lua. There are videos, books, etc.
Although slightly outdated, the Cookbook would be a great place to start. There's also a newer one here.

You can also buy a real book about using Lua with ROBLOX. Once you know the basics, it gets much easier. All you have to do is look stuff up in the Wiki. It just takes a little while before you can understand the docs.

You can also take a look at the Wiki's tutorial section.

Alrighty, Since you're new, Welcome. Before you start coding, you need to learn at least some intermediate building. There are some building tutorials on the Roblox Wiki I suggest you start there, also go to some top earning/top rated places on the front page to get into the "feel" of roblox

Once you get used to the building tools, you might be wanting to try programming with Lua, if you never programmed before, go to your local library, and find some beginner programming books.

After you have some knowledge from basic programming you can start learning Roblox Lua. Again, back to the roblox wiki, do tutorials there, (Don't just read them, do them in another window, or you'll never learn) After you get the hang of it, I suggest CowBear16's Roblox Lua programming books. He also has published another one with more stuff, but do the basic one first.

This guy's book has some errors in the code in some of the tutorials, but he has an always working version of the code on his secondary roblox account so you can compare and bug fix code. (a really important skill)

Also, here's how the DevEx works

tl;dr If you skipped to this tl:dr right away, let me just say there is no easy way. Making a good game is going to be hard. Good luck!
