-== About
-
-This library provides low level access to Delta tables in Rust, which can be
-used with data processing frameworks like
-link:https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion[datafusion],
-link:https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/tree/master/ballista[ballista],
-link:https://github.com/pola-rs/polars[polars],
-link:https://github.com/rajasekarv/vega[vega], etc. It also provides bindings to other higher level language link:https://delta-io.github.io/delta-rs/python/[Python].

-
-=== Development Meeting
-
-We have a standing development sync meeting for those that are interested. The meeting is held every two weeks at **9am PST** on Tuesday mornings. The direct meeting URL is shared in the Slack channel above :point_up: before the meeting.
-
-These meetings are also link:https://go.delta.io/youtube[streamed live via YouTube] if you just want to listen in.
-
-=== Development
-
-delta-rs requires the Rust compiler, which can be installed with the
-link:https://rustup.rs/[rustup]
-command.
-
-Running tests can be done with `cargo test` in the root directory, or one of the directories below:
-
-=== Rust
-
-The `rust/` directory contains core Rust APIs for accessing Delta Lake from Rust, or for higher-level language bindings.
-
-=== Python
-
-The `python/` directory contains the `deltalake` Python package built on top of delta-rs

+The Delta Lake project aims to unlock the power of the Deltalake for as many users and projects as possible
+by providing native low level APIs aimed at developers and integrators, as well as a high level operations
+API that lets you query, inspect, and operate your Delta Lake with ease.

+
+## Quick Start
+
+The `deltalake` library aim to adopt familiar patterns from other libraries in data processing,
+so getting started should look famililiar.
+
+```py3
+from deltalake import DeltaTable
+from deltalake.write import write_deltalake
+import pandas as pd
+
+# write some data into a delta table
+df = pd.DataFrame({"id": [1, 2], "value": ["foo", "boo"]})
+write_deltalake("./data/delta", df)
+
+# load data from delta table
+dt = DeltaTable("./data/delta")
+df2 = dt.to_pandas()
+
+assert df == df2
+```
+
+The same table written can also be loaded using the core Rust crate:
+
+```rs
+use deltalake::{open_table, DeltaTableError};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), DeltaTableError> {
+ // open the table written in python
+ let table = open_table("./data/delta").await?;
+
+ // show all active files in the table
+ let files = table.get_files();
+ println!("{files}");
+
+ Ok(())
+}
+```
