If you have $30 (the cost of a good tutor), I believe that Mark
Murphy's books seem to give a fairly good understandable explanation
of what's going on. If you tried understanding those (or any other
resource, though please cite it), then you can ask more specific
questions to which the rest of the group will hopefully respond.
Unfortunately saving instance state is something that isn't completely
intuitive (as to what parts are saved automatically, etc...), but it
shouldn't be impossibly hard.
