title: Should I start learning HTML basics, or go directly into HTML5?
body: <p>I am a designer and my only knowledge with programming is ActionScript 3.0. ActionScript is quite different in different versions — ActionScript 3.0 is a lot diffrent than ActionScript 2.0 or ActionScript 1.0, so it’s no good learning 1.0 or 2.0, the best thing is to learn 3.0 and you're good.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if it is the same with HTML?</p>
  
  <p>I want to start learning about XHTML, HTML &amp; HTML5, and CSS3. Should I start learning about the basics of HTML first, would that be usefull to me? Or should I go straight into HTML5?</p>
  
  <p>Please recommend whatever you think would get me started. (Books, great video tutorials, maybe some guy that is good at teaching in video tutorials, advice, tips, anything you consider relevant is welcome.)</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
