Help for a newbie

Hi,
I am relatively new to PS App Deploy and have come here to get help with packaging software. We are partially through a process to move completly to Intune from an on-premise solution, so have plenty of software to package.
We have been working with a 3rd party company and they have packaged most of our software. But have left the bigger and more complicated stuff to me.. Yes I know that isn't great but that is where we are.
Rather than just post issues I have I thought it better to ask how I should start learning this, probably not the best programmer but I have to get this done and looking for as much help/ resources as possible.

I know a reasonable amount of Powershell but of course learning new commands is always a challenge.

I have so far only got one package to actually work and that took hours to get it to work and was a fairly simple piece of software and was more done as a test rather than one actually needed.

Some of the ones left are often huge pieces of software (10gb+), old software that runs off a *.exe that does not have any silent switches, small drivers for old label printers etc.

Here to listen and learn!

Thank you

This portal/link has tons of examples (possibly a lot of the apps you're working on) to help.

Thank you, I had not seen this site before and will have a look through and see how many are on there that I need.

A question if I may, I have been using v. 4 of PSAppDeploy, will it make much difference if those on that site are written for v.3?

The latest version is always better, v3 is no longer being developed, so if you have issues with your v3 scripts then you'd be advised to update to v4

This YouTube video may give you some extra help understanding how PSADT works and how to get started:
