I would strongly recommend reading Data-Oriented Programming in Java by Chris Kiehl [1]. Chris introduces you to the data-oriented thinking through a series of super basic examples, gradually making things more interesting. He leverages the latest Java features (e.g. record classes) to illustrate the ideas and explains why these features are important. I don't know him personally, but we both work at AWS. I liked the book so much, that I reached out internally thanking him for writing the book.

Note: AFAIU "Data Oriented Programming" (as championed e.g. in the Clojure community) and "Data Oriented Design" (as championed in the video game community) are very different philosophies for different use-cases and diametrically opposed on many dimensions. People knowing only the one phrase and assuming both to be synonymous will be in for a lot of confusion when reading about the other.
Ah, thanks for flagging. You are 100% correct.
