Use the Javadocs, of course.  That's what they're for.  Any time you have to look up a method or type in the API, use the Javadocs as your first recourse.
<http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Class.html#forName(java.lang.String)>

Whoever wrote the "sample" you found online must have their head screwed on wrong.  That's the trouble when you copy-and-paste without understanding what you're taking.  You might, as here, grab some bad code and not even know it.

Also, don't reject explanations.  That's not an optimal strategy for learning.  Don't be macho.
