 Installation
 ------------
 
 Install:
 
-    go get gopkg.in/redis.v2
+    go get gopkg.in/redis.v3
+
+Quickstart
+----------
+
+```go
+func ExampleNewClient() {
+	client := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
+		Addr:     "localhost:6379",
+		Password: "", // no password set
+		DB:       0,  // use default DB
+	})
+
+	pong, err := client.Ping().Result()
+	fmt.Println(pong, err)
+	// Output: PONG <nil>
+}
+
+func ExampleClient() {
+	err := client.Set("key", "value", 0).Err()
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+
+	val, err := client.Get("key").Result()
+	if err != nil {

 Some corner cases:

     SORT list LIMIT 0 2 ASC
     vals, err := client.Sort("list", redis.Sort{Offset: 0, Count: 2, Order: "ASC"}).Result()
