Couple hooking that I know:
First (hooking a fishing pole):

• buy a fishing pole
• buy fishing lines
• buy a hook
• tie hook to fishing lines

Second (hooking up with a girl):

• find a girl you like
• impress her

Third (hooking in lua):

I assume this is the one you're looking for.
lets begin by saying functions in LUA does not need a name.

a)
function say(str)
    print(str)
end

say("Hello World")

is the same as: b)
say = function(str)
    print(str)
end
say("Hello World)

is also the same as: c)
(function(str)
    print(str)
end)("Hello World")

when we are hooking, it is essential that functions have a "name" (like a and b)
By using this mechanism of assigning functions to variable/name, we are able to hook very easily in LUA.

oldSay = Say -- this assigns the Say function to oldSay

Say = function(str) -- this is the new Say function
    print("NEW")
    oldSay(str) -- but we are also calling the old say, Therefore "hooking"
end

Not really a guide, but a simple explanation.

Fourth (hooking exe):

• Know what you want to change in exe (maybe an instruction or hardcoded value)
• Find location where instructions does not exist and insert your new codes
• Find the location of instructions you want to change via breakpoints, jump address to your new code
• jump back to the ending of the original codes
