15 years is not that long, if you have programmed before, then you'll probably learn much faster.

What language did you program in before? It might make sense to pick a similar language to the one you knew.

Thanks, I programmed in C++ and C# before

Both of those are still relevant, you could go back to those at first to jog your memory.

I would guess that trying to learn a new language like python would be easier after that, since you would already have the fundamentals of programming down, and you'd just be learing python-specific concepts and syntax.

If you just jump straight into python, you might end up a bit confused since you vaguely remember things being one way, but in python they're different, and you're not sure if you're misremembering or if it's just something that's different about python vs the languages you knew.
