I dont think version control is necessarily something you learn along the way if you are just learning on your own. It is a good idea for any nontrivial project to have, but I also dont feel like its such a necessity someone who is learning would go out of their way to use it. I'm not even sure everyone would necessarily be exposed to it and know it exists when just learning, unless they decided to contribute to OSS which seems pretty far down.
