Should I learn UML 2.0?

I'm a non-programmer but I built a computer with FreeBSD and have been learning that operating system and I plan on studying the other *ixs. Also, I am teaching myself Python in hopes of becoming a programmer and I wonder if I need to learn UML 2.0 at the same time? I'm not brand new to programming--having taken FORTRAN & Pascal in the late 1970s and early 1980s--but I'm effectively at skill-level zero. After I learn Python, I hope to learn (or at least gain working knowledge) shell, Perl, C/C++, Java, and LISP. My long-term goal is a software engineering career and I wonder if UML is a prerequisite?

Thanks for any advice.

gvrng

gvrng(1)																  gvrng(1)

NAME

       gvrng - An interactive, introductory programming language.

SYNTAX

       gvrng [world file | program file]

DESCRIPTION

       Guido van Robot is a project developed by advanced high school students for use by their peers as a learning tool and precursor to the fur-
       ther study of programming with Python. It is a minimalistic programming language providing just enough syntax to help  students	learn  the
       concepts  of  sequencing, conditional branching, looping and procedural abstraction. It's biggest strength is that it permits this learning
       in an environment that combines the thrill of problem-solving with instant visual feedback. In short, it is  an	interactive,  introductory
       programming  language that is excellent for learning the basic concepts of programming, applicable in any high-level language. Best of all,
       it's a whole lot of fun, too!

       At this point, you are probably asking yourself, "What is GvRng, specifically?" The gist of it is that it is a robot represented by a  tri-
       angle  on  the screen that moves around in a world made up of streets and avenues, walls and "beepers", which Guido can collect or set. His
       actions are completely guided by a program written by the user.
