Try this discussion on how to get started with Hadoop. Hortonworks Sandbox is the easiest option for installing a starter version of Hadoop on your own machine - the links are in my post in that thread.

There is also a short online introductory course on Hadoop from Udacity. This course uses the Cloudera version of Hadoop and the course is free if you register to "access the course materials".

Big Data University offers lots of online courses, but I haven't really looked at these.
