StatefulJobs is a Resque based library which allows you to integrate responsive background jobs in a very easy way. StatefulJobs wraps an ActiveRecord Model around a set of jobs and adds a polling mechanism to your frontend to get your users noticed about the state of their tasks. Very useful for: * background jobs which provide its state to the frontend * background jobs which need user interaction between several steps * a set of jobs which share process information All these jobs can either be implemented as a separate Class or inline with just a handy Proc.
