Begginer in microcontroller field

Hi'

I'm using a MSP430F5131IDA microcontroller and CCS for the IDE.

i need to generate a one pulse per second from port 2 pin 4 (P2.4). how do i do that using the CCS program ? and what devices do i need in order to download the program to the microcontroller?

p.s.

Where can i get full information on how to program the microcontroller using CCS?

thanks in advance.
