** Tutorial “is a method of transferring knowledge and may be used as a part of a learning process. More interactive and specific than a book or a lecture, a tutorial seeks to teach by example and provide the information to complete a certain task.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutorial

Tutorials provide step-by-step instructions that a developer can follow to complete a specific task or set of tasks.
