Subject: Re: GUI for a newbie

I have enjoyed using jRuby with Monkeybars. You can use the NetBeans IDE 
to do the drag and drop GUI design using Swing components and then a few 
lines of Ruby to hook it together (No Java required). Pretty simple and 
cross platform. There is a nice little starter project (RSS Reader) to 
get you going. See the two screen casts for a taste on the Monkeybars 
docs page.
