That's a quote from Lester Dent's Pulp Fiction Master Plot.

Lester Dent was a top selling Pulp Fiction and creator of hero Doc Savage.

If you're writing a tutorial, there's a temptation to drag the reader around the tool and show them what everything does. That's just advancing the reader over the scenery -- they're moving around, but they're not doing anything else.

From as early as possible, put some real action into your tutorial -- give the reader challenges to overcome, cliff hangers, victories and solutions as they progress through those early chapters.
