+CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system. This tool will allow you
+to test, compile and create packages of your source code.
+
+The problem that CMake tries to solve is the problem of Makefiles and
+Autoconfigure on cross-platforms (different make interpreters have different
+command) and the ease-of-use on linking 3rd party libraries.
+
+CMake is an extensible, open-source system that manages the build process in
+an operating system and compiler-independent manner. Unlike many
+cross-platform systems, CMake is designed to be used in conjunction with the
+native build environment. Simple configuration files placed in each source
+directory (called CMakeLists.txt files) are used to generate standard build
+files (e.g., makefiles on Unix and projects/workspaces in Windows MSVC) which
+are used in the usual way.
+
+```cmake
+# In CMake, this is a comment
+
+# To run our code, we will use these steps:
+# - mkdir build && cd build
+# - cmake ..
+# - make
+#
+# With those steps, we will follow the best pratice to compile into a subdir
+# and the second line will request to CMake to generate a new OS-dependant
+# Makefile. Finally, run the native Make command.
