There are some tutorials that explain this at
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/

More specifically I recommend this one:
http://www.theserverside.com/tt/articles/article.tss?l=XWiki

In term of creating UIs XWiki supports several options:
* HTML forms
* GWT
* Any technology you want using XMLRPC. For example the XEClipse  
project uses Eclipse RCP for doing the UI and communicates with the  
xwiki server using XMLRPC.

Hope it helps,
-Vincent
