+# [Workers](http://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-two-ruby.html)
+
+This is an example of how to deliver messages to a worker queue. You can
+spin up as many workers as you would like to process messages from a
+single worker queue. 
+
+This example works in much the same way as a [Delayed Job]() worker
+queue would work.
+
+It creates a durable queue that will persist between restarts. It is
+also configured to manually send an ACK(noledgement) when the message is
+successfully processed. This ensures that each message is processed.
+Each worker is also configured to only receive a single message at a
+time. This ensures that workers do not receive the next message until it
+has finished processing the current one.
+
+To run this example, you can start as many worker queues as you would
+like:
+
+```bash
+λ ruby lib/2-workers/receive.rb 
+ [*] Waiting for messages in task_queue. To exit press CTRL+C
+```
+
+To start sending messages:
+
+```bash
+λ ruby lib/2-workers/send.rb "BLAH"
+ [x] Sent BLAH
+```
