The coding of GA's is actually amazingly simple and often the theories speak
directly into the code (mainly because they revolve around the manipulation
of bitvectors instead of abstract data). In fact I don't think your
criticism is justified since what you say is true for any scientific field,
whether it is maths or physics; the implementation itself is a different
job entirely and is considered the manufactural process which is, in
essence, easy. That said there are many books on GA that focus on, for
instanc,e game programming (be it entertaining or economic games), or
simulation, that carry source code directly into C or Java.
There are also free GA and GP API's in Java that basically teach you the
whole process by using them.
