Foundations

Michael Barr and Charles Wells: Toposes, Triples and Theories. The online free available book is both an introductory and a detailed description of category theory. By the way, it is also a category theoretical descripton of the concept of monad (the book uses another name instead of monad: triple).

HaWiki's CategoryTheory is also a good theoretical introduction, and besides that, it explains how concepts of category theory are important in Haskell programming.

A Gentle Introduction to Category Theory - the calculational approach written by Maarten M Fokkinga.

Categorical programming

Catamorphisms and related concepts, categorical approach to functional programming, categorical programming. Many materials cited here refer to category theory, so as an introduction to this discipline see the #Foundations section.
