I have started working on Corona SDK.As you all know it uses Lua as the programming language,i wanted to know some good links or ebooks which i can refer to begin development.I am an iPhone developer and working on objective C since last 1 year.
Any suggestions,help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've been using this: Programming in Lua, first edition (FREE online edition of the book) The Corona SDK forums are also good for specific issues related to the SDk itself. It seems it is having a few database problems just right now, but you might want to check it later.
Edit: just for completeness, here is the link to the Lua Bookstore @ amazon (not an affiliate link).
Here's a great resource for learning Lua, it's aimed towards beginner programmers (doesn't sound like you), but it does a great job at introducing Lua and most of the basic concepts:
Lua for Beginners:

That, as well as the "Learning Corona" section of the Ansca docs should be plenty enough to get you up to speed in a very short amount of time:

TIP: Start working on a project, or converting an existing app using Corona and you'll learn it blazing fast! That's what I did, and I learned it quickly enough to have one of my games fully converted in about 8 days.
For understanding basics of CORONA SDK I will prefer "Corona.SDK.Mobile.Game.Development.Beginners.Guide" book from Packtpub publication. and You can also check out http://www.learningcorona.com/ for tutorial both video and audio.
The Lua Reference Manual is also an excellent read: Concise and complete.
Lua Gems is also worth looking at (at least the freely available snippets).
I found the Beginning Lua Programming book to be pretty good as a complete reference for Lua with good example code.
There are several Corona sdk video tutorials on YouTube. One demonstrates how to create a simple balloon game in a few minutes. You can have Your Lua editor in one window and YouTube in another, and click on the video to start/stop and switch to the editor and type in the code. Some tutorials provide links to download the code.
