Someone has requested me to build this book, since they didn't have Nix. So when looking at the Nix expressions I found that there was only a shell.nix and the default.nix was essentially just aliasing the shell.nix but without the pinning. However, with Nix flakes we no longer need to do pinning like this and we instead have a flake.lock file, which essentially pins the corresponding revisions. I also added a default.nix, which uses flake-compat to make sure that nix-shell and nix-build work as before. Since so far the way to build the PDF(s) was to get into a Nix shell and run make accordingly. For me however it's unacceptable to build random code without the Nix sandbox, so while writing a proper default.nix I decided it would be better to turn it into a Nix flake. Apart from the previous ways to build this project we now have: $ nix develop # To get a Nix shell (similar to nix-shell but cached) $ nix build # The default edition $ nix build .\#ctfp-scala # The Scala edition $ nix build .\#ctfp-ocaml # The OCaml edition Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@nix.build> |

This is an unofficial PDF version of "Category Theory for Programmers" by Bartosz Milewski, converted from his blogpost series (with permission!)
Building
The best way to build the book is using the 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:
$ make
To build the Scala edition, type:
$ 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.
