In very simple terms:

Lightning design system is a css framework which provide you prebuild css classes and html component html. It mocks the Salesforce UI while doing custom development. it is same as other css framework such as 

Bootstrap: http://getbootstrap.com/css/
ionic:  http://ionicframework.com/docs/components/

So for example if you want to put color for any item or component you can get colors code from this page

https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/design/color 


Go through the different component and understand their use https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/components/ (https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/components/data-tables)


Thanks,
Himanshu

Welcome to Lightning Experience! Lightning Experience is a modern, productive user experience designed to help you do more and be more efficient.

With the launch of Lightning Experience, we’ve focused on your sales reps, with a re-envisioned desktop experience to support your sales process. The result is a more productive interface, designed to support how sales reps work on a daily basis.

Although we’ve started with sales, Lightning Experience won’t end there. It’s really just the beginning! Lightning Experience will transform Salesforce CRM and extend to service, apps, platform, and more. No matter what department you're in, we understand that the way people work is changing.

All this change is greatly influenced by the rise of mobile. Sales reps at your company are already using mobile to research prospective customers, get directions to client meetings, connect socially with customers, and more. We get that. That’s why Lightning takes the cool stuff from the mobile experience and brings it to the desktop.
