How can I make an GUI Application in Lua

First I'll show you an example of what I am talking about: GUI Example

I've been studying Lua for around a week now, and I'm really curious of how I would do this. Basically (for now, and learning purposes), I just want to make a GUI with 2 buttons, 1 to start the specified (.exe), and one to exit the GUI.

Is this possible? How would I go about doing this? Any information would be great!

How do I learn Lua programming language?

A good place to start learning Lua is the book Programming in Lua, available in paperback and as an e-book. The first edition is freely available online. See also course notes based on this book. The official definition of the Lua language is given in the reference manual.

I believe you may want to take a look: http://lua-users.org/wiki/GraphicalUserInterfaceToolkits

If you want something well know and tested I would go to Qt, if something light: FLTK.
