Well, there can always be more examples, but "generators" are inherently an advanced concept: if you are writing a generator, then you already should be pro enough to be able to consult the sources of the various generators shipped with systemd. i.e. it's not a beginners topic, it's a very low-level, technicallly advanced one.
