Of course, you build the walls and plate the top, treated, and attach as they would on any framed wall.
You know Chuck, from reading your posts, I admire you with trying this project, but you should try to get familiar with building practices before you get in over your head. Just laying the block is a task in itself, and even though I have done it, I hire it out. That, like doing the floor (flatwork) is a skill not aquired overnight. Just a word of caution.
i do have experience in pouring a concrete floor actually many floors just never laying block, but i have a buddy that has laid the block out around my forms and hes showed me how to lay them and hes gonna help me alittle bit but eh ya know u can always learn from ya mistakes
Don't forget to put in your anchor bolts while your pouring the holes in the block up. 8x8x16 block will require a 2x8 top sill plate with sill plate gasket under it. Roff trusses are every 2 feet so length of building divided by 2 plus 1. If your going with 2 foot overhange you will need 2 of your trusses drop Trusses even though some guys use the drop truss method on even 12 inch overhang which I tend to agree with( a hell of a lot stronger than just hangeing 2x4s off the plywood).
i got 18.5 trusses and i dont need much of an overhang just as long as my roof is on there lol
