The first season consisted of 29 weekly sessions running from 18 October 2017 until 16 May 2018, covering most aspects of basic APL programming. A new series began on 28 November 201, with more in-depth lessons every two-three weeks.

Initially, the lessons were not organised, but were given completely impromptu. However, between lessons 2 and 3, Erik Konstantopoulos bookmarked the first two lessons using Stack Exchange's chat conversation bookmarking feature, and thus established the lessons as a numbered series.

The series continued on 28 November 2019, with more in-depth lessons every two-three weeks. This was sparked by interest among participants of a presentation by [[Morten Kromberg]] and [[Aaron Hsu]] called ''Pragmatic Array Oriented Functional Programming'', held during Jio talks 2019, after which a series of "APL Hacknights" were to be held in the APL Orchard. However, the audience of the first such even turned out mostly to people who had not been at the Jio talk, and it was decided to fold this new series into a continuation of the previous one.
