I used to own a centroid knee mill some 15 year ago when I first started in business.This is my 2 cent on learning G- code programing . I have been programming cnc mills for many years and owner of a machine shop.When I hire a new employee I really don't care if he or she knows what G55 or G00 are .What I look for is experience using my cam software (Computer Aided Manufacturing ) in my case we use mastercam .Mastercam is expensive to buy but there many other software packages and also student version that are not.
The advantage of programing with CAM is that you will be able to program any kind of mill . Please don't get me wrong Knowing some G code is great ,but if you have problems or crashes just know there is a better way .
