At tonights javaBin meeting in Kristiansand, Aleksander gave a lightning talk on Google Guava (yeah, that fruit in the picture is called Guava). The main presentation was an introduction to Genetic Algorithms. If you missed out on the talks you can download the slides here: Guava Lightning Talk and here: Introduction to Genetic Algorithms.  We will give you a follow up post on Guava and Google Collections with some cool examples of how you can reduce the amount of boiler plate code in your applications.
