The likely upside is that you have lost a bad coding habit or two. This is a great time to relearn to code, and to use only best coding style that you can imagine. Perhaps you used to like someone else's code better than your own. Look at that persons code and use their style as your template.

For getting started again, just write small test programs to make sure that you know how things work. Sketch out some diagrams before starting a big project. Maybe you never needed to do this before, but now it is a good idea.

It should work perfectly the first time! - toma
