It is fairly straightforward. I think the key is to attach the controls 
to Wx::Panels, then add the panels to the notebook. See the sample code 
below.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'wx'
include Wx

class MainFrame < Frame

   def initialize(title)

     super(nil, :title => title)
     panel_1 = Panel.new(self)
     box_1 = BoxSizer.new(VERTICAL)
     panel_1.sizer = box_1

     notebook = Notebook.new(panel_1, :style => NB_TOP)
     box_1.add(notebook, 0, ALIGN_LEFT | ALL, 10)

     panel_n1 = Panel.new(notebook)
     box_n1 = BoxSizer.new(VERTICAL)
     panel_n1.sizer = box_n1
     box_n1.add(TextCtrl.new(panel_n1), 0, ALIGN_LEFT | ALL, 10)
     box_n1.add(TextCtrl.new(panel_n1), 0, ALIGN_LEFT | ALL, 10)

     panel_n2 = Panel.new(notebook)
     box_n2 = BoxSizer.new(VERTICAL)
     panel_n2.sizer = box_n2
     grid_n2 = Grid.new(panel_n2, :size => [270, 140])
     grid_n2.create_grid(3,2)
     box_n2.add(grid_n2, 0, ALIGN_LEFT | ALL, 10)

     notebook.add_page(panel_n1, "Tab 1", true)
     notebook.add_page(panel_n2, "Tab 2", false)

   end

end

Wx::App.run do
   self.app_name = 'TestNotebook'
   frame = MainFrame.new("Test notebook")
   frame.show
end
