Hello everyone and welcome to our Corona resource centre!
This is our definitive list of Corona tutorials, samples and templates found over the internet.
learningcorona.com was a great place to go to for all of your tutorial needs, but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to get updated that often and has a lot of dead links in. Therefore we took it upon ourselves to clean the list and add other tutorials that we found on the internet. This is by no means a full list of all available tutorials and sample code, but it’s a start!
Remember Control+F or search is your friend!
If you know of a great tutorial that should be added to the list then please feel free to head over to our contact us page and drop us a message. We will hopefully be updating and editing this list every few days so we should be able to keep on top of all the requests
