What should I learn before I learn HTML5?
Also, where should I begin with the HTML5 tutorials?
Thanks!

But HTML5 is largely supported now by the major browsers so I use it for every project I start.
I find the learning adventures the most logical steps to putting the pieces together. I'd start with the html and css learning adventure, found here:

I was looking through it, and didn't really see anything on HTML5.
Or is everything in that Learning Adventure basically learning HTML5?

28,149 PointsEverything in that Learning Adventure is basically HTML5.
HTML is the language, HTML5 is the 5th revision of the language.
Just start learning HTML, and most of the modern stuff you learn from will be html5.
But, just so you know, they are using the HTML 5 doctype tag on their videos and challenges, so in a nutshell, yes you are learning HTML5
