In 1997, my coworker and friend Francois loaned me a copy of this weird book, &#8220;Genetic Programming&#8221; (Koza). I still remember the excitement of reading through the Santa Fe Ant problem and GP solution! Thanks to Francois - that opened doors to a massive world for me; that of stochastic search and optimization. I love this stuff.</p> <p>Since then I&#8217;ve played with all sorts of stuff, and applied it to real work many times. It&#8217;s really great, and I encourage any programmer nerd freak to check it out.</p> Wed, 03 May 2006 22:51:59 -0500 urn:uuid:2fe086b3-f759-4e2b-9568-96e1e4de5298 steve@waits.net (Stephen Waits) http://swaits.com/articles/2006/05/03/about-john-koza programming http://swaits.com/articles/trackback/238
