It's not really a beginner's guide, but the chickenize-package [1] is 
meant for educational use. In that package, some “funny” manipulations 
are done using Lua code that would be [nearly] impossible to do in any 
non-Lua-TeX.

However, while this may help you understand the Lua-side, it will not 
help you to produce any nice documents. That's rather a TeX-side related 
thing and you'd have to learn TeX/ConTeXt/LaTeX to really produce documents.
