Preferably vids though. Both about Lua itself and toLua++ integration. You know. The whole bag. :)

If you're looking for straight Lua and C++, this is what helped me; (and its a start, if nothing else :p)

I made a decent lua tutorial right here:

It doesnt use toLua++, i prefer to do it the old fashoned way but may prove somewhat usefull.
