BibTeX, biblatex and biber

I am royally confused between the following bibtex entry types:

@proceedings
@conference
@inproceedings

When is one entry type more appropriate than the other? My current estimate is that all represent some document presented at a conference. But what is the differentiating factor between the three?

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

I guess you will find the answer in Section 3 of the BibTeX manual.
