I had a similar discussion with my wife. I instead found it better for her to start off native mobile app development. She has started the udacity android course and is loving it. The best thing about learning Android for beginners, compared to Web dev, is there are fewer things to learn. They just need to learn Java and Android Studio, and have an Android phone to test their app. I guess the same stands for iOS dev too.
