I would recommend getting a Teamtreehouse or a tutsplus account to start learning along with a real world mentor. Once she gains a level of understanding , she should focus on establishing a portfolio which can only happen by doing whether for friends or through probono by signing up at sites like catchingfire. once that is done then the next steps would be to sign up at odesk etc ..I guess thats pretty straight forward.

Thanks for the answer.

The 'how' to learn a language or portfolio is not really the issue here, rather what language to pick. Which language is best to learn today to be able to get freelance work today and in the future. Which language is in demand and will be even more in the future and will be adopted by larger companies. And last but not least, which language can be learnt within this timeframe to have enough understanding to build and ship things (almost alone) requested by clients.
