[lug] First Programming Language

[Rob Nagler]

If it's Python she wants to learn, then use Flask or something like it.
This is a nice tutorial:

If it's Javascript, then Express.js is easy, too:

Maybe she'd like to learn R? There's a Shiny server, which will let you
build web apps in R:

I would think R would be most useful, because it's high level with many
concepts that map to the business world.
