This is an *unofficial* PDF version of "Category Theory for Programmers" by Bartosz Milewski, converted from his [blogpost series](https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-programmers-the-preface/) (with permission!)

Building
--------
The best way to build the book is using the [Nix](https://nixos.org/nix/) package manager. After installing Nix, type `nix-shell` in the root directory of the project. This will download all the needed dependencies and tools to build the book (TeXLive, required fonts and packages, Pygments theme for syntax highligting, etc.)
When the download is complete, and you're prompted with a shell, use the instructions below to build the book.
The `src` directory contains the LaTeX sources. To recompile the book, go there and enter:
```bash
$ make
```
To build the Scala edition, type:
```bash
$ make scala
```
Upon successful compilation, the files will be placed in the `out` directory next to `src`.
The file `preamble.tex` contains all the configuration and style declarations.
