IMHO, this would be a larger undertaking than you're probably anticipating
at this point, especially with no GUI programming background.

Why is it that you think the GUI would be helpful?  If you elaborate some
more on the project you are trying to achieve, it may be possible for some
of the list to give you ideas on how to do this within the confines of
ImageJ, and its default GUI.
