Just saw a new one, scratch:

Akin to Alice

a nice intro to programming.  Book-wise, well, the Camel is easily the 
funniest programming book I've ever read - if she's smart she'll get it. 
The harder part'd be getting a nice env to work on stuff and while I don't 
want ot open the vi/emacs wars, something like "komodo" might be a nice 
thing .... then again, it might just scare her off ;->
