Is UDK the same as UE4?

I want to start on learning to develop games using Unreal Engine. I have found tutorials but they all use UDK, and since I am using Mac OS X, I can't have UDK but instead UE4.

My question is, is UDK and UE4 similar with UE4 being improved, and can I watch UDK videos and apply on UE4?

UDK was made from UnrealEngine 3 which required permitting and UDK didn't. This was in 2009. I envision that UE4 is presumably much further kroger feedback developed than the UDK now UDK was what they called the SDK for Unreal Engine 3.

Unreal Engine 4 doesn't use the UDK name anymore, likely because it's not just an SDK that is available for most-people anymore, it's the entire engine.

UE4 is a pretty significant change from UDK/UE3. Some aspects and concepts from UDK may be applicable, but you are probably better off using UE4 resources to get started. Epic has and continues to release a substantial amount of resource through their website, and their YouTube channel. There is also loads of 3rd-party resources out there.
