 ### Querying ###
 
 Idiorm provides a [*fluent interface*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface) to enable simple queries to be built without writing a single character of SQL. If you've used [jQuery](http://jquery.com) at all, you'll be familiar with the concept of a fluent interface. It just means that you can *chain* method calls together, one after another. This can make your code more readable, as the method calls strung together in order can start to look a bit like a sentence.
