No, he means the G and M codes that tell the CNC machine what to do and how to do it.

I have seen some people do the code out by hand and it works well for laying out holes and making things that are not very complex. For our needs on team 229 we used Mastercam 9.1. We did have some problems and sometimes the program required us to go back and repost some of our files, but in all it was pretty easy to use.
