What is the secret?

I am realling needing some help getting started with Java development. I have been through the tutorial, one only this one but several. I still need some conceptual explanations. I have made a couple of posts here but have not got a response yet. Is there something I am doing wrong. I figure this is where all the experts are gathered.
