This introductory screencast describes how to use the Delayed Job gem for executing long-running tasks in the background of a Rails application. Starting with building a simple app that sends a mailer, we demonstrate sending the mailer manually, and then we refactor it to be fired off as a delayed job.

@fooheyy Sidekiq is more similar to Resque than DelayedJob. I would say Resque vs DelayedJob is just as applicable to Sidekiq vs DelayedJob.

So, I wouldn't say Sidekiq makes DelayedJob outdated, but you could very well make the argument that Sidekiq makes Resque outdated.

Thanks, but since Sidekiq, I think Delayed_job is a little outdated

Awesome job! I've been wanting to dig more into delayed_job and this was great. And anyone that adds a Finding Forrester reference to a screencast is okay in my book.
