basic resque 2.0.0.pre.1 usage

gistfile1.md

Resque is great, but the README.md on github (as of 12/1/2014) continues to cause butthurt to folks who are trying to setup resque.

The current README (wrongly) states:

To define some work, make a job. Jobs need a work method:

class ImageConversionJob
  def work
    # convert some kind of image here
  end
end

Next, we need to procrastinate! Let's put your job on the queue:

resque = Resque.new
resque << ImageConversionJob.new

Here is the "correct" example usage:

Be sure that your job has a queue method so that Resque knows where to put it

class ImageConversionJob
  class << self
    def queue
      "default"
    end

    def work
      # convert some kind of image here
    end
    alias_method :perform, :work # the old API takes perform, but the new one will use work
  end
end

Next, we need to procrastinate! Let's put your job on the queue:

Resque.enqueue ImageConversionJob

Presumably, whenever resque 2.0 comes out in the not-so-distant future, we'd be able to do Resque.new and whatnot, but for now, this gist is here to hopefully save folks today some time and butt hurt.
