No comment on your <snip>'ed ps interpreter, but of the several
books I've read about it, and depending on your background and
purpose,
  https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/basic-category-theory-computer-scientists
is quite a competent and thorough-yet-concise introduction.
Though that's the one I'd recommend, I'm not familiar with books
written after ~y2k, so similar/better/whatever ones may well exist.

Google doesn't seem to be coughing up a free pdf of it, but if
you're investing enough time to read it, then the $30 bucks is worth it
to invest your time as productively as possible. There does seem
to be a page of reader reviews (beware line-wrapped url),
  http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1810837.Basic_Category_Theory_for_Computer_Scientists
Some of the pure programmer types seem to feel they don't quite
have the prerequisites. I have an ms in physics, and couldn't
just breeze through it, but it wasn't like a 50mph headwind in
my face, either. Pitched just about perfect for me, but obviously ymmv.
