First, this book would never have been created with out all the hard-working people at Packt who helped put it together: Divij Kotian, Keagan Carneiro, and Divya Vijayan.

I would also like to thank the many people who had nothing to do with this book but still played an influential role in my life in some form or another:

Dane Henderson, Kristen Yoder, and Jody Taylor, who help me co-host a radio show on KNSJ.org called "Notes From the Underground."

Chris (the Zooman) Clobber and Sarah Burford, who help me co-host another radio show on KNSJ.org called "Laugh In Your Face Radio."

Leo (the man, the myth, the legend) Fontaine, Freddie King, and Terry Sanchez at Twin Dragons.

Thanks go to Michael Montijo, who spend nearly two decades pitching his animated TV series to different networks before finally finding success. During much of that time, he'd drive from Phoenix to Los Angeles (five hours one-way) to talk to network executives. If you want to achieve success, a large part is simply commitment, dedication, and lots of hard work.

Final thanks go to Cassandra (my wife) and Jordan (my son). More thanks go to Oscar and Mayer (our cats) for providing my life with lots of interesting tasks that usually involve some form of biological fluid splattering on the floor after being ejected from one end of the cat or the other.
