First steps after acquiring a new MacBook Pro (w.r.t ensuring optimal battery life)?

I just unboxed a new MBP 13.3 inch i5. I wanted to know what is the best way to start using it, so as to ensure optimal battery life i.e.

  • Should I charge it to full capacity, before even booting it ?
  • Should I start using it out of the box on AC ?
  • Also, going forward, what must I do to ensure that the battery lasts longer, and the average capacity doesn't go down with the years ?

While I appreciate individual experiences/suggestions, I'd really like links to articles/reviews from respectable websites that could authenticate the information - there are simply too many opinions out there :).
