I would never laugh at anyone learning how to program computers.

We are started where you are now and yes, those first signals actually looking like what you wanted are a big ego boost.

From such simple steps I went on to make a lot of interesting real time devices.

If you use the bug (debug) symbol at the right of the hammer, you don't need the flash loader.

The debugger loads the code for you and halts at the first line of code in the main() function.

The hammer also builds the debug version by default (except when you push the little arrow next to it). You change that by setting the Release Configuration as the Active one in the Properties -> CCS Build screen

(I typically do that only when cutting a release. I work fully in debug mode while designing).
