Hi, I agree that this is finally an interesting topic.
I worked off and learned off the tutorials and code of genetic algorithms off of this site: http://www.ai-junkie.com/ It may not be the best, and there may be books (or other sites) that more thoroughly explain the concept, but through that code I got the understanding of a genetic algorithm to write my own. IIRC there is a neural net tutorial there too.
