Need demos of using hadoop - cloudera

Hi All,

I am a begineer in hadoop. I understand the basic workflow of using map reduce. I have written a few basic stand alone programs in eclipse using the hadoop apis.

I want do get into the real stuff and have some hands on.
As of now i have downloaded the cloudera vmdk and installed it on VMWare Fusion.

Can somebody point me to the right location where i can find crystal clear info how to continue forward.
I want to use hdfs on 2 or more machines and write some stand alone applications that uses these system resources to do parallel computing to solve my task.

All oven the internet i have just found the understanding of map reduce and many advanced topics but nothing specific i am looking for.

Kindly direct me to the right place where i can find the tutorial or a video lecture to go forward
