2.0 is considerably different from 1.5.2; it's even more different from
1.5.  But I think what you're really asking is whether what you learn
for 1.5.2 will be obsolete when you switch to 2.0.  IMO, the answer is
"not much".  Just about everything in 1.5.2 works the same, and there
are only a few new features in 2.0 that obsolete idioms that you learn
for 1.5.2.
