Basically, ser and estar are two of the most commonly used verbs in the spanish language. They mean basically the same thing; however their use is different. Ser and Estar are the spanish "be" verbs. The "be" verbs in english are "am", "is", "are", "was", "were", "be", "being", and "been". The differences in use vary, mostly depending upon location, time, etc. The article listed above will be a good help.
