Book to get started in Type Theory


I saw a a paper posted today called "The Derivative of a Regular Type is its Type of One-Hole Contexts". I cannot even start to read it, because of notation and total lack of background. There where also very interesting comments, but I can only understand half of it.

What would be a good book, article, video or site to get started with the topic?

Thanks.

There are lecture series that are good for this. Jumping straight into Pierce or Harper's book is pretty hardcore.

For example, 3110 -> 4110 -> 6110. Then you can just search some compiler courses like CMU's or just follow plai.org.
