It's true that you should read the documentation. As a former newbie and teacher, though, I appreciate the need for some helpful hints:
JPA is Java's Persistence (Saving) API found in the javax.persistence.* package. You can use JDO as an alternative, though, instead of JPA. I would recommend this simply because Google App Engine has better documentation for JDO. In the end, to the new user, they are essentially the same. JPA or JDO is how you will save full Java objects into the Google database. It is not difficult to make the database connection if you follow the tutorials. At this stage, it sounds like you will have more trouble creating a basic web application. So, I would start with that first - also in the tutorials. The App Engine SDK comes with a few sample projects that should work out of the box - see if you can get those up and running. Good luck!
