How can a Software Engineer re-enter the industry after a career break?

Hello CareerVillage Community, I'm a software engineer with several years of experience in web and application development. Due to personal reasons, I had to step away from the industry for a few years. Now, I'm eager to return to my career and get back to developing software. I'm seeking advice on the best steps to re-enter the industry successfully. Specifically: - What strategies can I use to update my skills and knowledge to align with current industry standards? - How should I address my career gap in my resume and during interviews? - Are there specific resources or programs you recommend for someone in my situation? Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
