Hey Guys

I have a website and am planning to develop a mobile version of it for the iphone, blackberry and android.

My website is a social network built on PHP Zend framework. Now all these mobile apps are going to be having the same functionality like the website.

I am little ignorant about this - but from a high level I understand that all these mobile apps should not have to write any backend logic. For every functionality - they will simply make a web service API call to interact with the backend.

So does that mean, for every functionality I need to create a web service method. Can the existing code be re used - I'm a little lost -

Can someone shed some light on this matter or point me in the right direction (like some articles)

Thanks
