How to go from bad to good OOP design?
I'm reading a lot about good and bad practices in OOP design. It's nice to know your design is bad, or good. But how do you get from bad to good design?

Are there (free) tools or libraries for 3D WPF objects?
I wanted to play around with some 3D controls in WPF, but was mildly surprised to find that there were no primitive solid controls in WPF - I just wanted to plop a few spheres and cubes in a scene, but didn't realize I had to render them using meshes. Surely someone has created libraries of 3d primitives that can be added to WPF 3D scen...
