Gen1 skyline which is the current version released on publicly is best ran on DX9. OpenGl used to work earlier on, but then broke so we decided to work with DX9 only. There arent many thing different but stability is better in DX9.
As for lua, the sources Shando posted look good. I personally dont know of any because we already had a background in c++, so jumping to lua was quite quick and easy. The thing to get around first is the syntax; but after that most of the api is custom and directly calls into the Skyline Core for the fastest lua scripting possible.
You can find a list of the API as Shando posted and these are not apart of the normal lua language, however saying that, many of the lua libraries and commands are still usable.
Enjoy!

There's heaps of Lua Tuts on the net ( for example), there is also the excellent "Programming in Lua" book (first edition) that's available for free here: .
These will teach you the basics of Lua, but you will also need to study the Skyline Docs (especially the API section ) to learn the Skyline specific Lua commands.
Finally, if you can't work something out from the tuts/API, just post on the forums and I'll try to help as much as I can.

Shando
