See http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/editions-compare.aspx :

SQL Server 2008 Developer enables developers to create and test applications that run on SQL Server on 32-bit, ia64, and x64 platforms.

SQL Server 2008 Developer includes all Enterprise Edition features, but is licensed only for development, testing, and demo use. The SQL Server 2008 Developer License entitles one developer to use the software on as many systems as necessary.

For quick deployment in production, instances of SQL Server 2008 Developer can be easily upgraded to SQL Server 2008 Enterprise without reinstalling.

Quick answer: Express Edition has several limitations in terms of features, but you can freely use it on a live system. The developer’s edition has all the features of the Enterprise Edition, but you can use it only in development, and not in any live systems.
