Newbie here...

I'm getting comfortable writing bits 'n pieces to run off the command-line,
and am wanting to branch out into putting some sort of GUI on the front end
of my code.

Since I come from a web-development background, I've no idea how.

Is there some sort of tutorial, howto or set of ideas anyone can give me?

Thank you
Ryan

LTK and CLIM are nice platform and implementation independent toolkits for 
Lisp GUI programs.

I had touched on the matter over at a previous thread. Have a look at my 
page:

My objective was to be Windows-friendly, as well as Linux compatable.

Requires some integration work, mind.

Mark, do you use cl-glade to generate CL code from Glade's XML?

Thanks,
Andrei

No. I haven't used Glade, but hand-coded the interface I wanted. It's 
not exactly great of me, I know, but I'm really only just learning Lisp 
and GTK.

Is anyone writing a cl wrapper around libglade?  Seems like the cl glade 
projects I've looked at actually parse the XML rather than letting the 
library do it.

Perhaps those projects were started before libglade was created?  Don't 
know the history.
