Algorithm design - GA and Evolutionary Computing

How to start and how to design algorithm? Where can I obtain good resources for algorithm design such as templates, examples, books, URLs etc which I can start learning and start designing? Please advise me on the followings:

– Design a representation

– Design a way of mapping a genotype to a phenotype

– Design a way of evaluating an individual

– Design suitable mutation operator(s)

– Design suitable recombination operator(s)

– Decide how to select individuals to be parents

– Decide how to select individuals for the next generation (how to manage the population)

– Decide how to start: initialisation method

– Decide how to stop: termination criterion
