I am going to take a course on category theory soon.
What resources can you recommend for learning about it?
What parts are relevant to learn and how do I learn to apply my knowledge?
Haskell Wikibook chapter on Category Theory (CT in relation to Haskell)
Learning Haskell through Category Theory, and Adventuring in Category Land: Like Flatterland, Only About Categories (review of some books)
Dan Piponi's blog: http://blog.sigfpe.com/
Abstract Nonsense for Functional Programmers by Edsko de Vries (pdf)
For a very first meeting with category theory I have had "A taste of category theory for computer scientists" recommended.

Well I'm interested in learning the mathematics and physics applied to game development (I don't care about the language right now), I know there are many books related but I can't find them in my country so I have to buy them in amazon, I would like someone to recommend me some book to start and some good free resource if there is.
Thank you.

I think that "Operating System Concepts" (silberschatz, galvin and gagne) is a very good book for beginners to understand the basics of the operating systems

Where can I get man pages with examples. I can improve my coding knowledge.
There is no better place than /usr/share/man/man3. There are tons and tons of examples there (section 3 is the API section, which I think is what you want; your description wasn't really clear).
Nothing beats a good book. Michael Kerrisk, the Linux manpages maintainer, has published a book titled "The Linux Programming Interface". There are also lots of older books on Unix programming, the most famous of them is probably "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment", by the late W. Richard Stevens.

Every day I write Web applications, and I have a good understanding of HTTP. However I want to close the gaps in my knowlege of network architecture. I'm not a sysadmin, so a hard-core sysadmin reference book would probably be a bit much for me, but I'm also not looking for a book on how to write code in any way -- I'm interested in the mechanisms underneath all that fun Web code I write.
Any recommendations?
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols by W. Richard Stevens is the book you want to read.

Also by the great W. Richard Stevens is Unix Network Programming (http://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Network-Programming-Networking-Sockets/dp/013490012X).

I recently applied to several full time positions among some of the tech giants, and this was among some of the feedback I received.
I know what good coding practice generally entails, but am not so sure on largescale software design that mixes not only creativity but also a sharp technical focus.
What do you guys recommend?
Code Complete is always a winner.
