Coding and Pasta: A Fun Way to Learn Tech Skills
A new children's book is aiming to make coding fun and accessible. The book, called "Spaghetti Code," is written by Karlie Kloss and Vicki Fang. It tells the story of a girl named Kelly Kent who loves spaghetti and coding.
The Story
In the book, Kelly helps a chef build a pasta-making machine using code. But things get messy when the chef keeps adding too many features, creating what's called "spaghetti code." Kelly has to fix the code to make the perfect spaghetti.
