BTW, nobody will jump on you for asking for resources where you can
start educating yourself!!  We just get frustrated with people who don't
try to find information on their own, and then ask here for working code...

If you are just getting started with web applications in Java, I highly
recommend O'Reilly's "Java Servlet Programming"; read it start-to-finish
(except for any regurgitation of the Servlet/JSP APIs). You should also
keep a bookmark around to the APIs themselves:

http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.5/docs/servlet-2_5-mr2/index.html

If you are just playing around, do it on your own box. You don't need a
"server" to write your own servlets and learn everything. If you feel
strongly about running your servlets on a different system, I highly
recommend using a host/guest OS virtualization product such as VMWare --
you can run your servlets in a completely separate environment and
convince yourself that remote communication is truly working.

Just to add to what David and Chris have already written:

TC also works fine on Mac OS X (being a flavor of Unix).
If you want a development environment, Eclipse is a great bargain  
(free!), and there is a free plugin for TC.
The MyEclipse addon is low-cost and useful (at least to me).   Once  
you get underway, the Tomcat HowTo's
are particularly useful.

One pointer:  Make sure you get a "certified genuine" TC installer by  
downloading the zip/gz from the
TC page, and just unpack that.  Many packages (such as Linux distros)  
mangle the TC install.
If you install from that, TC is ready to run out of the box, and you  
can watch the access log to see the
requests arriving -- real communication.  If you have access to a  
second box besides your own -- it can
be old, just as long as it runs Firefox -- you can send requests to TC  
running on your box using your local net.

Hi there (just joined too), my two cents would be to check out the Netbeans IDE and website.
The tutorials are great for one. And the software bundles w/ IDE/glassfish/tomcat/soa etc are
a great way to get started. And everything is all set to go (integration wise)
through a decent installer.
Eclipse probably has the same sort of deal but I haven't touched it much in a
few years.
