I'm a developer. I have a basic working knowledge of classic neural networks. I'd like to learn about genetic algorithms. What books should I be reading? I prefer dead-tree, but pdf suggestions too please.

    I've seen recommendations for Genetic Algorithms in Search, Optimization, and Machine Learning by David E Goldberg as a classic/foundation text. However its 35+ years old. Is it still worth reading?
