Hello Well, maybe one should not advertise oneself but a long time ago I wrote a chapter on "Basic Category Theory" in the Handbook of Logic in Computer Science" (Eds. S. Abramsky, D.Gabbay, T.S.E. Maibaum). Basic notions of category theory (and somewhat more) are introduced from the viewpoint of functional programming (and other applications in computer science). Maybe a bit outdated if you consider developments in linear logic, coalbras, and applications of categories in particular in physics (http://categorieslogicphysics.wikidot.com/video ), but the chapter still may help to understand some of the basic concepts from a programmers point of view (for adjunctions some familiarity with automata theory is assumed, though - in former times standard knowledge in CS). Regards Axel PS. Mildly ignore the mistakes.
