CITATIONS, REFERENCES AND SHOUTOUTS.

I believe we all work and learn together and grow together. I rightful must cite who lead to my growth and network to others so you can learn too. I hope this shoutout behaviour is reflected for the health of all Technical Artistry. My source code will have particular citations of origin. I'll attempt to Cite all i can, yet the list keeps growing.

Support credits to friends and acquaintances.

We all been humbled to network and problem solve together. This list extends well beyond who i can recall:
