Very complicated question, since the javelin is one of the most difficult events in athletics to master. It takes a combination of speed, strength, flexibility and rhythm that must be trained for.
In a nutshell, the javelin approach consists of 3 phases: the runup, the cross-overs and the deilvery.
Runup: javelin is carried above the shoulder and thrower runs towards the javelin foul line increasing speed as he/she goes.
Crossovers: javelin is "withdrawn" to a position behind the thrower. The shoulders are turned sideways (parallel to runway). Leg drive and body position are key here. A final "penultimate" step prior to the plant puts the thrower in position to get the plant leg down before the upper body has a chance to creep forward.
Delivery: the thrower initiates the throw with the non-throwing side by solidly putting the plant leg down. This causes the throwing side to react to that blocking action and rotate around the left side. The throwing arm comes over the top (as opposed to outside the shoulder axis) as much as practical. The momentum of the runup necessitates a 1 to 2 step follow-through.
There are 3 grips for the javelin. the American grip. pinched between the thumb and pointer finger. the Fork grip. first 2 fingers make a v (peace sign) and the javelin sits between them. finger tips on the end of the grip. the third is the finnish grip. The middle finger is at the end of the grip and the pointer finger is more down the shaft of the javelin. In all three grips the Javelin will rest in the crease of the hand prior to throwing.
Take the usual number of running steps (as quickly as you can) and then throw the javelin at a 35-40 degree angle (to the ground) depending on wind conditions. For more info on this check the various websites on javeling throwing.

How does air resistance affect javelin?
Air resistance slows down the javelin by exerting a force against its forward motion. The shape of the javelin can help minimize air resistance and improve the distance it travels when thrown. The javelin's speed and angle of release also play a role in how much air resistance affects its flight.
