+# Python for Ruby Programmers 
+
+## by Mike Leone
+
+### Abstract
+
+You've probably heard of Python, the _other_ popular, dynamic, multi-paradigm 
+programming language. It occupies much of the same space as Ruby, has many 
+similar language features, and the syntax even looks pretty similar. But what 
+are the specific strengths and weaknesses of Python when compared to Ruby? What 
+use cases are conducive to one language versus the other? 
+
+In this talk, we look at similarities and differences in the design of each 
+language, exploring how they affect application development and maintenance. 
+Later, we look at some specific problem domains (web development, scientific 
+programming, etc) and show how much traction each language has for those 
+domains.
+
+
+### Additional Notes
+
+In this talk, I'll show you that (a) jumping between Ruby and Python is very 
+easy, and that (b) learning Python will make you a better Ruby Programmer.
+
+This is a new version of my "Python for Ruby Programmers" talk. It was first  
+presented at Los Angeles RubyConf 2013, and it made the front page of Hacker 
+News. I received lots of useful feedback from that; this version features 
+better material for advanced programmers and better idiomatic code samples.
