Books
Probably I'll try to backup all this and replace it with links to

Technical
It's not easy to list all the nice books, or even to decide which
books to list, but here are some.
- Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation: nice and
relatively short/simple introductory book about interpreters
(including typing), a video linked from its introduction is nice
also.
- The Unix-Haters Handbook: funny and interesting book, as far as I can
tell after reading first 70 pages.
- Type Theory and Functional Programming - it has explicit enough
title, the book is nice.
- Types and Programming Languages - the same topic.
- Software Foundations: similar subject, with exercises and examples
in Coq. Works fine as reader's first book on topic of formal theorem
proving.
- SICP - this one is quite popular, but will link it from here anyway.
- Dragon Book - widely known also, but linking too; this (the "Red"
one), together with SICP, made me look at programming from a [one
more] different side.
- The HoTT Book + helpful materials:
- Conceptual Mathematics: A First Introduction to Categories
- Andrew S. Tanenbaum's books: pretty lengthy, but very readable, and
can be used as references.
- Lang's books for algebra, though they are not that easy to read.
- Seven Sketches in Compositionality: An Invitation to Applied Category Theory
- NASA Software Engineering and Assurance Handbook
- Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge

Articles
Links to articles are rotting surprisingly quickly, I should fix
them somehow.

GADTs, (Co)inductive types, CciC
Functional programming
Programming with dependent types
Session types
It's useful to read about π-calculus (FAQ on π-Calculus) before reading
about session types, and familiarity with typed λ-calculusis is assumed.
