I have experience in working on implementation of Cisco MDS, Nexus switches and UCS. I am interested to learn SDN as I have understood that most of existing physical environment will be migrated to ACI or SDN in the near future. Can someone please make me understand as how it is used in the present scenario , what are the scopes and learning methods to acquire the knowledge on SDN or ACI.

are both SDN and ACI are same or different terms? If different please let me know what is the difference.
