+<!--Your Github repository must have the following contents:
+
+    A README.md file that communicates the libraries used, the motivation for the project, the files in the repository with a small description of each, a summary of the results of the analysis, and necessary acknowledgments.
+
+    Your code in a Jupyter notebook, with appropriate comments, analysis, and documentation.
+

+
+**stacksurvey** is an exploration and analysis of data from StackOverflow's developer survey of 2024.
+
+[https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/](https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/)
+
+The motivation for project is satisfying a class assignment. Eventually, an interesting (enough) topic was discovered in the data set: 
+
+What is the annual compensation (y) over years of experience (x) of deveopers who use a programming language from a specific country?
+
+## Requirements
+
+    numpy pandas sklearn matplotlib seaborn
+
+## Summary of Analysis
+
+*For the purpose of this analysis, (data) scientists and researchers are also considered developers.*
+
+The models generated by the notebook become less reliable for incomes greater than $200,000 per year and years of experience after 10.
