Her mother nurtured her love of reading despite their lack of money. During college, Cisneros had an epiphany that she could write about her own experiences growing up Latino in Chicago.

Transponder is a JavaScript framework that aims to provide a better UJS experience for Rails projects. It consists of three main components: helpers, presenters, and services. Presenters map to controller actions and modify the DOM as needed. Services encapsulate reusable logic and can be triggered from presenters. The framework uses an event-based approach where presenters listen for events corresponding to controller actions. This provides a cleaner, more reusable structure for managing JavaScript in Rails compared to alternatives like Backbone alone.Vincent
