Thanks so much. She is very driven and smart, and knowing her, she does have a good analytical mind, but since she was young, she was pushed more to humanistic areas and never really focused on IT/Math, etc. But I've seen her work when she was pushed in finance at a firm and with other accounting things and I think she has the smarts for it (if she didn't I wouldn't recommend her to try development).

Bootcamp wise, we live in a country without much access to those, and due to her family situation, she can't really move.

I will try Eloquent Javascript with her. I have Hartl's Rails tutorial but from what I remember, it was a bit complicated at the start if you didn't have any decent computing experience.

I have some projects that could use some clean up in the html area, maybe I'll write a few stories for that and will see how she does.

Again, thank you so much for the time and ideas!
