As a programmer interested in category theory, I found this book a rather good balance between the abstract non-sense of CT and what I might actually use in programming. I wonder if anyone else has good books to recommend? I feel that the contents of the book remains a bit hard to appreciate in full unless you have ran into these concepts previously.
F. William Lawvere - Conceptual Mathematics: A First Introduction to Categories<p>Eugenia Cheng - The Joy of Abstraction: An Exploration of Math, Category Theory, and Life<p>She builds up to the category theory chapters.<p>Book club: <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhgq-BqyZ7i7tEEQVG5rlOG8y44aqRaZ3" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhgq-BqyZ7i7tEEQVG5rlOG8y...</a>
