During my daily work I quite often find an article which highlights interesting things which I would like to share with you on my blog in the Picks of the week category.
Here are the picks for this week:

This article discusses SPWorkItemJobDefinition timer jobs which can be used to queue items from inside a worker process to a timerjob without a need to have access to the configuration database where configuration data for timerjob is usually stored. SPWorkItemJobDefinition timer jobs are (e.g.) used with Variations, page scheduling, workflow and many other features.
