We were all newbies to start.  I have been figuring out Java, asking
endless questions and explaining this to newbies since the days of
Java 1.0.  I have been collecting explanations geared toward newbies
to programming and newbies to Java and posting them in the Java
glossary.  See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss.html

If you have trouble with something, often just reading one entry will
disabuse you of one of the common misconceptions that his throwing you
off.  Also chasing links at the bottom to related topics can be
fruitful.  Often the material you want is not filed where you expected
it.

Capitalism has spurred the competition that makes CPUs faster and 
faster each year, but the focus on money makes software manufacturers 
do some peculiar things like deliberately leaving bugs and deficiencies
in the software so they can soak the customers for upgrades later.
Whether software is easy to use, or never loses data, when the company
has a near monopoly, is almost irrelevant to profits, and therefore 
ignored. The manufacturer focuses on cheap gimicks like dancing paper 
clips to dazzle naive first-time buyers. The needs of existing 
experienced users are almost irrelevant. I see software rental as the 
best remedy.
