Please advise if there is away to batch photo's or better yet. Select several photos and "Develop". I'd like to me able to adjust sharpness, saturation, noise etc. to several photo's at the same time.
Yes, very easy. Adjust to one, then select all the others you want to do the same adjustments to (keeping original selected as well) and press the sync button (bottom right)
To add to the post immediately above, when you adjust one photo to your liking, and hit the Sync button, it will take you to another dialog box that is a checklist of all the adjustments you want the Sync to apply to. You need to be careful here, and check only the parameters you want to apply to the rest of your images. For example, if you crop the first image one way, and you don't pay attention to the sync checklist, you may inadvertently apply the same crop to all of your images.
This is a very powerful and time saving tool in Lightroom. So be thoughtful about it. For example, I often shoot dance recitals using one lens for the entire shoot. I will go to the Details panel in the Develop module, and apply a Lens Correction using that one lens profile to the first image, and then Sync all of the images to that one, using only that parameter. The point is, the Sync process doesn't have to be a single, final pass through all of your keepers.
You can also create pre-sets for use when you import into Lightroom if you find that you apply the same amount sharpening, noise reduction or saturation for example across the board all the time.
I have pre-sets created for my metadata/keywords (Copyright, photographer, address, etc) and sharpening and noise reduction per camera body. That way all my images have the same info' and initial edits before I tweak further. A good set and forget scenario.

You can also right click the photo you worked on and select Develop Settings / Copy Settings. You have the opportunity to select the settings you want. Then multi select a bunch of photos, right click and select Develop Settings / Paste Settings.
