Early transition metals are does starting at the beginning of the transition metals (i.e. Sc) and going through about d5 which would be Mn. These metals are less electron rich as compared to the so-called "late" transition metals and the chemistry of each is somewhat different and definitely unique. Hardness and softness of the each of these groups changes (see Hard Soft Acid Base Theory) as does the stable oxidation states and coordination numbers.

What is the difference between late transition metals and early transition metals?
The early vs. late transition metals differ in their oxidation states (each metal has different possible oxidation states). Electrons have a stronger attraction to the protons in the late transition metals, so the later transition metals form bonds that are harder to break. You can read more about transition metal properties from the links below.Source(s):

Which group occupies the large middle section of the periodic table?
Transition elements occupy central block. They are present between group3 to12.
How many transition metals are there in period 2 how many in period 3?
In period 2, there are no transition metals.In period 3, there are no transition metals.
What are the characteristics of late transition metals?
it was more improved than the early transition metals....and in late transition the perodic table was complety done

How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
