The term tutorial derives from Latin roots, from the word “nuti” which means “to watch over or protect”. The word is a new word, adopted in our English language, which is used in the field of computing to refer to a set of lessons that allow the user to acquire knowledge about certain functions of great importance to be able to handle electronic devices or software, programming, system designs among others. Moreover, it can be said that it is a generally short and shallow course, which shows and imparts those fundamentals and main characteristics for the correct use of a certain system or product, or it can also be for the purpose of performing some task in particular.
These computer tutorials usually consist specifically of a group or clan of steps that as each one of them is carried out, the level of difficulty increases and can often make it difficult for the user to understand; therefore it is advisable to follow this series of steps in a sequential and logical order, so that the user can understand each of these successfully. The word tutorial is widely used today on the internet, this is because a number of websites use this methodology for their users; They offer tutorials on how to code in HTML to how to make a graphics card work faster.
