I would first recommend you to work through the tutorial steps descriped here:Hadoop@Apache
Especially the Wordcount example that can be found here: WordCount

For a single node setup I really recommend the blog of Micheal Noll: Micheal Noll's Clustersetup Tutorial

If you are more the book-reader type, you should definetely go for Tom White and Doug Cutting's book at o'reilly:Hadoop: The Definitive Guide

Cloudera has a free VMWare image which will get you up and running if you want to focus on development and not administration/configuration headaches:

there are lot of assignments workshops & homeworks of hadoop course available online.you can try implementing those on your own and get the hang of it.
