Do you now operate the machine(s) you are expecting to program ? I started cnc as an operator and read the machine manual during cycles, but these days that might be a luxury.
As far as being 55, it shouldn't matter. When a person stops learning their brain turns to jelly, good on you for wanting to expand your skills.

Machinerys Handbook has a programming section and then there's the Peter Smid books but that's some pretty heavy readingAnyone who says "It only goes together one way" has no imagination.
