Soldering through hole components is really easy (SMDs are another story, altogether). Like everything else in life, the best way to learn it is to practice. Just get a cheap vero board and a bunch of DIP sockets and solder em all. Then, try to desolder them with a desoldering wick. Also, get a PCB vice. With a vice holding the PCB firmly in place, two hands are all you need.
