i've been trying to do the same matt for a couple of days, but i have
nothing by way of explanation to offer at this stage and will eagerly
look at what responses you get here.

i have found the following useful sources though:

http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dpm8/files/categories/awodey-categories.pdf
(awodey's book - it's good, but i'm having trouble filling in some of
the gaps presently)

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Category_Theory
(wikiuniversity course)

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Category_Theory
(computational category theory course by rydeheard & burstall)

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/category-theory/
(brief synopsis from stanford encyclopedia)

(now it's just a matter of trying to figure out what they are
saying :D )
