Hello;

I think the books of David Goldberg are excellent and they carry a lot of explanations and examples, I personally started with his books.

The following should get you started

Many thanks both for your suggestions.

I really enjoyed "Introduction to Evolutionary Computing"  by Smith & Eiben http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Evolutionary-Computing-Natural-ebook/dp/B000S1M41Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1459348765&sr=8-4&keywords=evolutionary+computation+book

Concise & clear

Thank you Pablo.

Dear Edoardo Coronado-Barrientos,

You can get "EVOLUTIONARY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHMS Biologically-Inspired and Population-Based Approaches to Computer Intelligence" by Dan Simon. This book covers both the technical and publishing notes.

I have found an introduction to metaheuristic very interesting. It focuses on a wider range of algorithms.

Dear Patricia,

   Would you be so kind to tell me the author(s) name(s)?

Thank you

Edoardo

Dear Edoardo,

I advice you to read the book that entitled "METAHEURISTICS

FROM DESIGN TO IMPLEMENTATION"  for El-Ghazali Talbi

University of Lille – CNRS – INRIA.

All the these book represent a good option. If you speak spanish, this is a good choice:

Thank you for your suggestions Erik, the one in spanish looks like a good option for me.
