You could try this one... I also saw it come across the Twitter the other day. It's very recent, and seems to be written by someone who has worked with category theory for a while now.

The truth is, I don't know if an easy introduction to category theory exists.

Do you have any recommendations for category theory learning materials (books, videos, websites, online courses, etc..)? I've been trying to learn the basics for a while now without much success..
No, sorry. I ended up learning enough of our text book to pass the exam, but it's about the only time in my life when I memorized a bunch of material without understanding most of it. At the exam they asked me about the Yoneda lemma, of which by now I only remember the name.

Haha, this thread got out of hand rather fast didn't it! I actually just got this book for the basics of category theory and it seems pretty readable so far.
