Try to figure out what she would like to build and start from there!
It's a lot more interesting to learn about some concepts if you feel like they're relevant to your problem.

That approach could also help with selection of language, frameworks, tutorials, etc. If it turns out she wants to make iphone apps she might want to look into swift, if she wants to build robots (circuit)python would be a great start.

Whoa! Somehow this never came up in my mind. Great point, that would greatly help in deciding how she wants to get introduced.

Thank you for the input!
