That is very broad range of topics.

Web services - you can write apex methods and expose them as webservices (either soap or REST) so that external systems can call them.
EmailServices - again in the context of apex, you can write email services that can trap incoming emails to a specific email address and do something with it (ceate task, update contact record etc.)
API - salesforce provides different wsdls (enterprise, partner wsdl) to integrate with salesforce (inbound) . You can also consume an external wsdl to do a callout to an external system (outbound).

Check out the apex developer guide: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm
also check out integration resources - https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Integration
