If we are talking about graphical front-end to scripting, then you can use zenity. For instance, here are some examples from man zenity
Open a graphical dialog to select a file:
zenity --title="Select a file to remove" --file-selection
Here's a line to list all files in current working directory and show them in a popup window: find . -maxdepth 1 -name "*" -printf "%f\n" | zenity --list --column="Files"
And here is one example how I used it in practice to create a simple app launcher: https://askubuntu.com/a/606072/295286
There's other alternatives, too, for instance, yad which is called "zenity on steroids"

@AhmedZnouda zenity will be good for bash. There are many tutorials online and examples on this site. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jun 07 '15 at 09:57

Install and use Glade
sudo apt-get install glade
Glade is a RAD tool to enable quick & easy development of user interfaces for the GTK+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment.
The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML, and by using the GtkBuilder GTK+ object these can be loaded by applications dynamically as needed.
By using GtkBuilder, Glade XML files can be used in numerous programming languages including C, C++, C#, Vala, Java, Perl, Python,and others.
