You can use PureBasic to create CGIs that can access the file system on the PC they're served from. As a comparison let's compare writing an accounting application in PB with SB+PB:
With PB you'd likely use a database server, say MariaDB, and you'd create an executable that would work with that directly and have to be installed on all client PCs (which would have to be running Linux, Mac or Windows on x86 or x64).
With SB+PB you could make a JSON-RPC server where the UI is in SB but the database read/writes are handled by CGIs written in PB. The server would still have to run Linux, Mac or Windows but the client side could be anything with a browser and there is no client side install required. Another advantage is when you update your app you only need to do that in one place.
