Personally I think that the best way of learning a coding language is to get stuck in.
Basically, I would recommend setting up a dedicated server first (https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Hosting_...ted_Server).
Then, use the gmod wiki to find methods/functions and create small projects. For starters, save code into a .lua file in lua/autorun/server then test away.
If you start with smaller projects, then think of a bigger one you would like to focus your attention on, you will learn GLua very quickly. Generally I wouldn't advise the sites like sololearn and codeacademy as I feel like: a) it is quicker to learn with practical experience and b) you have a better understanding about how sh*t works (or doesn't
) with practical experience.
