The current status of the comparisons between some experimental results and
theoretical predictions for heavy quark production is reviewed. It is shown
that the combination of new theoretical tools and better experimental input
allows for a good description of charm, bottom and top hadroproduction, with no
significant discrepancies between theory and experiment. Theoretical progress
in the resummation of large logarithms and inclusion of power corrections for
the heavy quark fragmentation function is also discussed.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, Talk given at the Workshop on High Energy Physics
