Regulated current or regulated voltage?  Or do you want a lab-type 
supply with regulated voltage and smooth current limiting?

It sounds like you don't have a tremendous amount of experience with 
electronics -- you may find it helpful to get a copy of the ARRL 
handbook, which has some nice power supply designs as well as a _lot_ of 
good practical basic knowledge.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
