The electric field at the surface of a conductor is perpendicular to its surface. Consider some displacement $\dd{\vb{l}}$. Now, $\vb{E} \vdot \dd{\vb{l}} = \vb{E}_s \vdot \dd{\vb{l}}_s + \vb{E}_p \vdot \dd{\vb{l}}_p = \dd{V_s} + \dd{V_p}$, in terms of parallel and perpendicular components. The paralell voltage difference is zero, so the electric field must be zero.
Consider the surface of a conductor with surface charge density $\sigma_e$. A cyliner with one end inside and one end outside said surface, with its axis normal to said surface, will be a Gaussian "pillbox", which will show that with V being the volume of the pillbox, $\int_V \div{\vb{E}} \dd{V} = \frac{Q_e}{\epsilon_0} = \frac{A\sigma_e}{\epsilon_0}$. Thus, $\sigma_e = \epsilon_0 E$.
