It is really hard to find someone who can explain what is bad about code design and what should I do about it or what should be "best".

If you don't know anything about code quality, it is rather hard to pick up on your own. It helps if you have someone more experienced to look at your code and go "No, you're doing it wrong. You don't need to subclass for x, just use y instead."
