Genetic programming (GP) is an automated method for creating a working computer program from a high-level problem statement of a problem. Genetic programming starts from a high-level statement of “what needs to be done” and automatically creates a computer program to solve the problem. Read the rest http://www.genetic-programming.org/

Looks really interesting. Don't know anything about programming to know about the details - I presume one of the most complex parts is defining what paramteres and how to evaluate what parameters it judges the outcome programs against for the "survival of the fittest" steps?

It's fine to point people to a topic for discussion isn't it?

Trust me it's not. I did some research on this for a uni module and the books i found about nearly put me to sleep
Yes if you actually input to the discussion, which now you have is fine. But your initial post could have actually been a little better.
I did an evolutionary computation module last year. I mainly focused on genetic algorithms as GP is very long winded for solving anything but simple problems.

I did say I know nothing about programming, sorry if it didn't meet your high standards. I think it's a little unfair to blame people for bringing a topic to the attention of others.
Personally I don't mind somebody bringing a topic to the attention of others as long as the topic is inteligent enough to allow for discussion
(Still it would have been nice to have seen what it was the OP was trying to achieve by presenting the post.

Fair enough, but the post just seemed weird, it wasn't like you were saying "wow i just found this interesting topic on GP, and wondering what you guys think about it's future etc", not just a copy and pasted statement about a random topic.
Its not about high standards its about actually starting a discussion properly. I could make a new thread that merely provides a link and a copy and pasted statement about Peruvian wombats, hardly a great start to discussion.
