[Peng Gao · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much prefer this book to others on the subject. It focuses on algebra, and is different from the classic Gel'fand and Manin which uses very much the simplicial sets language, which in some sense is topological. It's an elementary book and good ref for basics. Not much coverage on derived categories although there is a chapter on derived functors since this is a book on homological algebra.
