Can we get some more examples?

As the title describes, kinda new to redis and resque and would like to know more on how I can use this. Looking for alternative to replace AWS SQS + Node.js

Cheers :)

I've setup Resque (Ruby) and Redis and used example job & workers from https://github.com/defunkt/resque/tree/master/examples/demo. I ran setup and examples on local server as well as on AppFog (using CloundFoundry)...they have free acount with unlimited servers up to 2 GB RAM combined and 10 services...Redis will count as 1 service...worked great. The Rbuy Resque had lots of addons and GUI to review queues. Many addons allow access to worker status.

Now I've used coffee-resque in Node.js and in only few lines (require, connect, enqueue) was able to add job to queue in Resque/Redis setup I already had.

My goal is to have node kick off queued jobs for Ruby to do image manipulation using ImageMagick and RMagick.
