Dr. Angela Yu
I'm Angela, I'm a developer with a passion for teaching. I'm the lead instructor at the London App Brewery, London's leading Programming Bootcamp. I've helped hundreds of thousands of students learn to code and change their lives by becoming a developer. I've been invited by companies such as Twitter, Facebook and Google to teach their employees.
My first foray into programming was when I was just 12 years old, wanting to build my own Space Invader game. Since then, I've made hundred of websites, apps and games. But most importantly, I realised that my greatest passion is teaching.
I spend most of my time researching how to make learning to code fun and make hard concepts easy to understand. I apply everything I discover into my bootcamp courses. In my courses, you'll find lots of geeky humour but also lots of explanations and animations to make sure everything is easy to understand.
I'll be there for you every step of the way.

It is a LOT of talk involve and no practice AT ALL. There are not even one practice example. She could move the mouse and show us at least what is she looking at. Not even that. There are missing information like: If I move the campaign from kickstarter.com to indiegogo.com what are the feeds, taxes or whatever I need to pay. What is the meaning of InDemand? For how long works this InDemand at indiegogo? It is missing a lot of information. Last update "Last updated January 2018" so all the pages showed here does not exist anymore? And there is much more that is missing. This is just a presentation like someone used it TED to present what they do and who they are - or it is a presentation to was used in a convention/workshop and it is not an educative course. A course include practices and much more.

Thanks so much! I needed to build a course on the fly in an effort to fund a company that has a burn rate between grants and customer acquisition. I followed this course step by step. Launching this company while holding a full-time job is a lot! I think I did about 65% of what was shown in this course, and after our 1st day, yesterday, we crowdfunded 35% of our goal. I only wish I had more lead time before launch day to do all of the recommendations. The point is to follow the steps; you will have everything from a crowdfunding page to a killer marketing strategy! Great course. Thanks, App Brewery!

Good course, I already followed another course from Angela and she's a really good teacher and really helpful explanations. The only thing to fix is the presence of some link or tools presented in the course that is outdated or missing nowadays, but in general all that's described in the course is useful, well organized and with the appropriate length. I'm excited to practice what I've learnt and launch my first kickstarter campaign! Thank you Angela! =)

This course was going to get 5 stars anyway - simply because of Angela`s accent and that funny rap video! Hahaha. Oh, and the content is VERY insightful, amazing and exactly what I need for my Kickstarter campaign launch! :) Happy customer (again - I also took the SWIFT iOS programming course as well)! :)

I have always wanted to start my own business but choosing business ideas (and thinking they're crazy) has been a difficult decision for me. I have always wanted to pursue a course like this but never had the opportunity to do so. Now I have and I enjoyed every minute of it. The host has done an excellent job at explaining the steps in creating an engaging a Kickstarter and Indiegogo project from it's initial stages to its end. I now feel more confident to choose a project to move forward with in the future.

Received a lot of real value....The instructor is really cute and you just enjoy watching the lessons with her positive attitude. That is gonna motivate you to finish the course and not stop midway...also the course contents are well organized and explained simply yet effectively. One of the best things about the course is the tools, weblinks, free resources they provide and I am really liking this, and I have completed half of it................. I just completed the course and I think it's great.

This course is awesome! It has a lot of original content, lead by a charismatic teacher with real world experience and success stories. It provides awesome tools and valuable insights, about what to expect from her own real campaign, all in a solid presentation that lasts just what it is meant to.

I have purchased and studied two best-selling crowdfunding classes through Udemy. This is best one! It gives you every detail you need to pay attention to, and never hide anything. I highly recommend this one. If you have purchased the other one, I suggest you purchased this one also because I have realized some fake information the other class provides, it will waste you a lot of money and energy if you tried that way. You are awesome Angela!

Very useful course that guides you step by step to create a successful crowdfunding campaign. I loved it and now I feel much more confident of what I need to do (in the correct steps and priorization) because before this course I felt overwhelmed about not knowing the correct way of doing all the tasks. All the apps and tools Angela gives seem very useful. Now I am ready to start my precampaign! =)

The course is very good , but I was expecting a walkthrough of the weekly activities of the crowdfunding planner (at least a quick walkthrough of the key activities). The planner is an important part of the kickstarter campaign, and should have at least a short lesson devoted to it.
