<p>The short term idea of this tutorial is to help you <font color="#FF6600">build
your own Evolutionary Algorithms</font> using EO - while the long term
idea is that you will be able to contribute to EO, and ultimately write
<font color="#FF6600">our</font>
EAs :-)

simple EO programs from simple description. But there are things that EASEA
cannot do, and you will have to do it yourself and will need to increase
