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



Welcome to my website. I'm Chris Bell (also known as Doogal, hence the domain name) and I'm a freelance developer specialising in C# (web and desktop), PHP, Delphi, Google Maps integration and Metastorm BPM. If you have any requirements for bespoke development work, large or small, feel free to contact me on the email address at the bottom of the page.

I also help run The London Random Pub Finder, home to some very entertaining pub reviews. I have a blog, that gets updated much more frequently than this site.
