If you are new to Isaac you can check out the Rebirth OT and the Afterbirth OT, but any questions can also be answered here.
Afterbirth+ is an expansion to The Binding of Isaac that adds new items, enemies, unlockables, achievements, endings and a new playable character as well as full access to mod tools and user made mods, which for the community means at least another 200 hours of gameplay. Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Afterbirth are required to play Afterbirth+.
Q&A:
Q:What is this Antibirth I keep hearing about?
A:Antibirth is the name of an unofficial expansion made by the community that is sizable and has enough quality to be an official expansion and is consider to be from many. You can head to their website to learn more and also download and install it. It is also worth noting that the mod isn't compatible with Afterbirth or Afterbirth+ so you need Vanilla Rebirth to install and play it. Feel free to talk as much about Antibirth as well. The possibility of it being added into Afterbirth+ through mod tools has been shot down by the development team and it's been relatively quiet since, however there are many great mods out that you can check out.
Q: I'm new to Isaac, where do I start?
A: Well you can start pretty much anywhere. You can dive in knowing nothing about the game and learn the items and mechanics for yourself, or you can catch some of the recommended YouTuber's to get a better understanding of the game.
Q: Do mods affect my progression?
A: Yes, mods and seeds will stop you from earning any unlocks in game, however Edmund said something a while back about making cosmetic mods not affect your unlocks and progression, if that ever resources again.
