Subject: Getting started with full sized apps... how?

Ok.  First, I should say that I think highly of the Ruby language.  I
have written cool snippets and life is good. I should say that I have
developed in many languages currently focused on Delphi.

Now, when I write an app, I make an interface that has things for the
user to see with buttons to push and keep him playing happily.  I find
that, without a regular interface, I am somewhat at a loss for making
usable applications.  I am not any more interested in a purely command
line approach now than I was when i was writing batch files to do it all
for me.

That having been said, I am not finding the golden path to making
wonderful ruby apps with no easy interface.  Even practicing with the
language is problematic as I never seem to write methods longer than a
couple dozen lines and that doth not an app make.

So, as someone that wants to get as much mileage out of ruby as everyone
else seems to be getting, where do I start?  What kinds of things are
being done by those that say that their apps are all but running the
universe itself?

Where to I go to get a start on the larger side of ruby?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
