'Different' is an adjective, which means that it qualifies a noun (for instance, a different story) whereas 'other' can function as an adjective but also as indefinite pronoun:
'I want the other dog' (adjective) or 'I like the other (one) better' (pronoun). We often use 'other' to introduce a contrast between two things; 'I like this one but I don't like the other one.' Different is used to introduce a more general contrast (not between two things); 'I would like a different table.' (means I am happy with one of many possible tables); 'I would like the other table (means there are only two tables and I don't want the one I have been offered). I am sure there is much more to say but perhaps this is a start. Take care
