Notes on Category Theory with examples from basic mathematics
by Paolo Perrone
Publisher: arXiv 2021
Number of pages: 181
Description:
These notes were originally developed as lecture notes for a category theory course. They should be well-suited to anyone that wants to learn category theory from scratch and has a scientific mind. There is no need to know advanced mathematics, nor any of the disciplines where category theory is traditionally applied.

Category Theory for Programmersby Bartosz Milewski - unglue.it
Category theory is the kind of math that is particularly well suited for the minds of programmers. It deals with the kind of structure that makes programs composable. And I will argue strongly that composition is the essence of programming.
