Republishing Bartosz Milewski's Category Theory lectures

April 21, 2021 [Programming, Programming Languages, Tech, Videos]

Category Theory is an incredibly exciting and challenging area of Maths, that (among other things) can really help us understand what programming is on a fundamental level, and make us better programmers.

By far the best explanation of Category Theory that I have ever seen is a series of videos by Bartosz Milewski.

The videos on YouTube have quite a bit of background noise, and they were not available on PeerTube, so I asked for permission to edit and repost them, and Bartosz generously agreed! The conversation was in the comments section of Category Theory 1.1: Motivation and Philosophy and I reproduce it below.

So, I present these awesome videos, with background noise removed using Audacity, for your enjoyment:
