How do Sudoku setters set Sudokus?

It must be computer generated. But some are cleverer than others (and make more money at it – eg the guy in The Daily Telegraph). Is it simply the reverse of solving a sudoku, encoded? (Fiendish is no problem with logic.) Or is it more sophisticated than that?

I just finished a computer programming class in which we had to make a 9 x 9 Sudoku puzzle. It basically boils down to randomly filling in a row and then checking three conditions:

row, col, and subgrid violations. If the row doesn’t violate any of these requirements, then it’s a good row and you move down to generate the next row. If the row is bad, then you regenerate another random row.

It was actually a lot of fun for me. I was learning C++
