Since Subversion is open source and is free, why not simply download it and
play around with it for a while? Take a look at the Subversion manual at
http://svnbook.com. It is a very well written manual on using, installing,
and administering Subversion.

That'll give you a good idea how Subversion works and give you an excellent
opportunity to learn all about Subversion.

Others have already pointed you to some great resources

Subversion isn't "build software". It is merely a repository for source
files. If you need build software, take a look at Hudson which works great
with Subversion. Hudson is also an open source project and is quickly
becoming the standard build system for many organizations because it is so
extendable and easy to use. http://hudson-ci.org.

There's a command line interface to Subversion that you get when you install
the basic Subversion package. The Subversion book takes you through that.
However, Subversion clients are many.

If you work on Windows, a popular one is TortoiseSVN. If you work on the
Mac, you can get Path Finder (a $50 finder replacement). Both of these
integrate Subversion right into the file browsing software.

If you use a IDE like Eclipse, there is an excellent chance that the IDE has
a built in Subversion client. Most of these built in Subversion clients are
also free and open source.
