Apologies for the tangential chiming in: on the topic of "easier
sources" you can also look at a few other papers, e.g., Programming
with algebras (Kiebertz and Lewis). There's also a good book "The
Algebra of Programming"
(http://www.amazon.com/Algebra-Programming-Prentice-International-Computer/dp/013507245X)
that might be worth a read if you can pick it up at your local
library.

There will of course be many other good tutorials on algebra in
programming, you can probably google "categorical programming" or
terms that get you around that area :-)
