If you haven't done so already, I would suggest reading and understanding more about the application layer, http protocol [1]. Either in dry, RFC form, or perhaps reading Writing Apache Modules [2], though your milage may vary.
Not to force you to use apache, there are alternatives - choose one and stick with it; however, the point is to understand http, and what you need to do for your program to _work_ [3]. Since you're looking to work on an embedded device you'll probably be looking into something else as a server. Your frontend - web GUI - is secondary. Writing html can be done outside of your application, as a mock document to get you started and quickly build the look and feel you want. You later integrate that mock into your actual CGI program.
