Libglade and GtkBuilder are libraries which are used by programmers to dynamically parse an XML file describing a GUI (usually created with Glade Interface Designer) and build the GUI. Using Glade with Libglade or GtkBuilder allows for RAD (Rapid Application Development) of GTK+ applications in a multitude if programming languages such as C, C++, PHP, Python, etc. If you don't know this already, this FAQ probably will not be very relevant to you and you should instead start with: GTK+ and Glade3 GUI Programming Tutorial - Part 1

This GUI design will be created using the Glade Interface Designer and is completely independent of the programming language used to implement the design, which will come in subsequent tutorials.
