Hello, my name is PinRui Chen. I am a fourth year computer science student at Uvic. I am passionate to write codes in several different programming languages. I have learned to program in C, Java, python, and HTML. I came to Canada with my family about ten years ago. I really like the nice weather in Victoria and I have become a Canada citizen three years ago. I like to spend my spare time after school to exercise at the gym, either cardio or weight training and I also like to play video games.

My favorite learning experience happened when I first walked into the gym to lift some dumbbells. Because I did not have any experience and a personal trainer, I have no idea how to use different machines at the gym. I started to learn and improve my technique by watching videos on YouTube. The advantage of learning new things from YouTube or any online resources are that I can pause the video at anytime and watch again and again as I needed. And this is also the reason why I would take online courses such as EDCI 335.
