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. Just joined your list.
I would like to have a bibliography of sites and books and whatever
other resources there are for people interested in using Tomcat for
server-side website programming.
Also: If I want to experiment with actual server-side programming,
what host would you recommend. Money is a huge issue. Obviously, at
this point, bandwidth isn't.
Please be gentle.
