Directory Structure

The command $ truffle init will create a directory structure in the specified root according to the following:

root -|
      |-build               (Compiled Solc JSON Output Dir)  
      |-contracts           (Solc Contracts to be Compiled and Migrated)  
      |-migrations          (Specify the Order and Dependencies of Contracts to Be Deployed)  
      |-test                (Truffle Tests)  

Compile

Truffle will compile the smart contracts and expose their JSON ABI's for use with Web3.js or Binary ABI's for use with Web3J.

Migration

Truffle will let you deploy your Solc contracts directly to a blockchin of your choice.
