Salesforce Integration/Apex Integration Introduction
Apex Callout: A callout makes a call to external web service or sends HTTP request to from Apex Code, and then receives the response.
An Apex callout helps you to integrate Apex code with an external web service.
Below are the two types Apex Callouts:
SOAP: Web service callout to SOAP web service use XML. This require a WSDL document for code generation.
REST: HTTP callouts to services typically use REST with JSON.
Both SOAP & REST callouts are similar in terms of sending a request to a service and receiving a response. WSDL-based callouts apply to SOAP Web services, HTTP callouts can be used with any HTTP service, either SOAP or REST.
Remote site administration and security: Register you external site in salesforce remote site settings before callout can call external site, otherwise callouts will fail. Salesforce prevents calls to unauthorized network addresses.

Hi. Can I get study material of integration?
Learn it here, If you really want to study and gain deep knowledge in Salesforce then I will highly recommend courses here:
http://courses.getskillsfast.com/
These are step by step hands on courses. If you really wanna get your hands dirty then these are the ones to go for and not those superficial courses filled with just PPTs and theory.
These courses are very costly, can you get me some discount or share your username so that I can also go through it. (rhtkumar305@gmail.com)
