## What you will learn

In this section, you will get set up to begin machine learning tasks, including configuring Visual Studio code to manage notebooks, the common environment for data scientists. You will discover Scikit-Learn, a library for machine learning, and you will build your first models, focusing on Regression models in this chapter.

The pumpkin dataset is suggested by [this project on Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/usda/a-year-of-pumpkin-prices) and its data is sourced from the [Specialty Crops Terminal Markets Standard Reports](https://www.marketnews.usda.gov/mnp/fv-report-config-step1?type=termPrice) distributed by the United States Department of Agriculture. We have added some points around color based on variety to normalize the distribution. This data is in the public domain.
