They're pretty much the same thing, but some bands are more ska than punk and vice versa. Technically everything after 1st wave, besides all the 1st wave revival bands, can be considered ska-punk. 3rd wave is pretty much epitomized in the sound of Reel Big Fish and Less than Jake, which some would actually call ska-punk. When I think of true ska-punk I tend to think of Operation Ivy and Murphy's Law, and well not much else. A lot of people will dump the Bosstones into either category, but they really do deserve to be the sole proprietors of the ska-core genre.
