Javascript for PDF forms resources

[PCForm]

I'm trying to find Javascripting for pdf forms tutorials or examples of how to write the script and understand what logical operators, conditional statements, basic calculations are.     Everything I search on is API/Web based.  I want the old school "var a =this.getField("Name")" but am struggling to find anything.  I have the Acrobat Manual, and a book from amazon, but looking for more to help my co-workers understand.

See this article:

You'll also need the Acrobat JavaScript Model Reference and guide:
