Considering CCS and wondering how easy it would be for an amateur developer to create a web page that could be used to select parameters to pass to a application running on the server. The application can be run via a command line passing various parameters.

This can be done with or without CCS. However, attempting to decide whether or not to purchase CCS on the basis of the example you provided is not a fair consideration.
If you're saying, "Will CCS will provide me with the means to produce the web page that will deliver the parameters?" - Then the answer is "Yes, and you will benefit in other ways as well, for instance - you'll learn faster because you don't have to deal with things you don't need to know about at this stage or 'your' development."
But you may need to explore additional technologies in order to execute the command line parameters.
Using CCS to derive and deliver the parameters you may then need to execute a HTA application on the server or you may need to gain an understanding of the File System Object (FSO) or a combination of them.
Alternatively, you could create a COM object and place it on your server.
You would instantiate your com object within a .ASP page (let's call it exec_cmd.asp).
When the CCS page executes, it would call the exec_cmd.asp page on your server - passing the parameters accordingly.
The instantiated COM object would then be called with the parameters being passed to the calling function.
There are many ways to skin this cat. Regardless of how you go about doing it, CCS will make your task much easier and more productive - allowing you more time to study and learn.
