It's not DA's cronjob, it's common syntax for cron.
If DA's examples and descriptions are difficult for understanding, you can always use google for better ones.

to run task at 00 minutes every hour, you should use something like,

0 * * * *

See example from /etc/crontab.

01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

I think this is quite clear.
