iCodeGenerator is designed to support multiple programming languages from the beggining. And for that reason is build to be simple, so that we don't have a need to learn a new complex language or syntax to build our own templates.

 Let's see what I mean by that...

The main parts of a Database are: The Database itself, Table and Column. Well then that's all we need to learn to write our own templates. Uhmm.. well, that is not completely true, we can also add our own custom tags.

Lets begin.
