Can someone please direct me to a straightforward step-by-step guide to building a cement block house that meets California building code?

I feel like there should be some good how-to resources somewhere on the internet, but all I can find are DIY retaining wall instructions and videos from other jurisdictions (e.g. Jamaica).

Just a small 1-story house, in the 300-700sqft range. I know there's rebar involved, and mortar, and maybe concrete or insulation filling the voids in the blocks, but I don't know how it all connects, and how much of each component is necessary.

So: How do you build the walls of a house from concrete blocks?
