I'd get her set up with a GitHub account and have her start improving open source software. There are also a number of companies doing 'developer boot camp' http://devbootcamp.com/ http://devbootcamp.com/ Some of the dev camps will charge a nominal $10k-$20k but will take consulting referral fee and pay for the boot camp costs if you get placed by one of their recruiters.
