There is an example distributed with L4Re. It can be found in
l4/pkg/examples/clntsrv (you might need to update this from SVN) This
example should teach you how to write a server and a client, as well as
how to start both using the Ned Lua interpreter.

There is a GUI server called Mag in l4/pkg/mag. To start it, you'll also
need the IO server and some more stuff. You can find example configs for
running it in l4/conf/x86-fb.* -- I suggest you first get yourself up to
speed with some smaller examples such as the client-server part, though.


Cheers,
