doogal.co.uk - C# code and other stuff



Welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy it. I'm Doogal Bell (also occasionally known as Chris). My main interest these days is in .NET development, there are a few pages here devoted to it. In a previous existence I also did a fair amount of Delphi development, which is also covered on a few pages. I also help run The London Random Pub Finder, home to some very entertaining pub reviews (developed in PHP which I've dabbled in). I have a blog, that gets updated much more frequently than this site. Finally, I am not related to Doogal of the Magic Roundabout, although it's quite likely that that is how you've stumbled across this site.
