The Arbib & Manes text I've got (Arrows, Structures, & Functors) is a good intro to category theory, and doesn't dive into how it applies to computer science, as much as I would hope. I haven't read it, but I'd imagine e.g. Algebraic Approaches to Program Semantics might be more appropriate. Linton, Fred writes:
Dee Roytenberg [roytenberg.d@gmail.com], on Thursday, December 11, 2014, asked, regarding Applications of (higher) category theory to computer science:
Could someone recommend a good text on the subject? ...
I might suggest Category Theory applied to Computation and Control, Proceedings of the First International Symposium, U. Mass., Amherst, 1974, ed. E.G. Manes, and the works by Arbib & Manes, and by Goguen, Thatcher, Wright, et al., cited in bibliographies within those proceedings articles.
I hope that helps. Cheers, -- FEJ
