Tackling Hills: Got Technique???

So, what would you would be the technique to riding up hills, if any? I have never had a decent bicycle to begin with but, I will be fixing that one tomorrow for sure; gonna go get a hybrid bicycle for sure tomorrow.

Anyway, what are some tips for riding up hill where you getting back the most from your out put?

The Basic technique I applied recently is to speed up before meeting the hill and then pace my way up the hill. I do not stand up on the bike and remain seated. I find that the momentum + the pacing is very helpful. Decent speed and minimum effore I believe. However, doesn't work to well with really steap hills but, of anyone could be so kind to share your advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
