I started reading up on LUA, where it came from while looking for a reference guide: Lua (programming language) - Wikipedia
Does anyone know of or use a guide more specific to the Vera that has worked well for them?

You are not alone!
There is a growing urge to solve this issue through crowd-sourcing, see

In the mean time, both this forum and the Wiki pages
http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Main_Page
probably provide the best source of information on Luup (LuaUPnP), when used with care, at this time.
I find the best way into the Wiki pages is the complete list

The HowTo pages are quite helpful, but it depends what you’re after. There’s really quite a lot you can do with Scenes and Apps that people have written before resorting to Luup coding.
Generic Lua:
http://lua.org - Language definition and syntax
lua-users wiki: Tutorial Directory - Tutorials for most stuff, syntax wise.
Luup API:
http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Lua_extensions - API/Parameter declarations
http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Luup_Scenes_Events - Sample scene Luup
There are also Wiki pages (dated) for writing plugins (etc), but if you’re going to go that route you’re probably better off reading/underderstanding the code on http://code.mios.com.
LUA is the name of the language, where does LUUP come from/mean.
