Hi Jeremy, author here.

Firstly, thanks for all your great stuff on Math/Programming, it's been a great source of inspiration!

I would have liked to include Universal Properties, but I decided it was just too much to grasp for one session.

The audience were professional programmers, so there was a strong underlying message of "this is directly applicable to what you do". UMPs have got something important to say about abstraction -- what it means to have only what you need and no more. It just would have popped heads by the time I'd built up to it.

Cheers! Keep up the blogging :)
