Creating custom Timer Jobs in SharePoint 2010

Lately I had an assignment where I needed to make my first timer job in the SharePoint.
I had a bit of trouble finding a good and strait forward and up to date tutorial, but found one in the end:

Creating Custom Timer Job in SharePoint 2010

Its a simple example of creating a timer job in SharePoint 2010 that adds items to a list each time it runs. Short, step by step and with screen shots. Just the way I like it!

When working with timer jobs you need to restart the "SharePoint Timer" service everytime you have deployed new changes to your code.

I had a frustrating day at work trying to find this information anywhere on Google, but without any luck. Then I asked a colleage (which I probably should have done from the beginning!), and my day was saved!  :-)
