the fastest way is to use toLua or someother code generator or template 
such as Luna if you are doing C++.

Now if you want to do it by hand that is not the fastest way by a long 
shot. I did one by hand just to know how it works.
Then I use the Luna template or something else automated, doing it by 
hand is tedious at best and error prone at worst.

There is pleny of documentation on the wiki on how to do this by hand.
