Opentype in fontlab

Can anyone recommend a good place to start learning how to implement opentype features using fontlab 4.5? I've copied and pasted code directly from adobe's syntax specification but it doesn't work for me. Is there a primer out there that is not entirely theoretical or completely technical, but just a quick and dirty guide to creating OT ligatures?

Some supplemental information can be found on this webpage.

The page referenced by Sergej seems to be about a different OpenType compiler (not the Adobe/FontLab/FontMaster syntax).

That being said, the general principles and feature tags remain the same.
