Hi there,
Following Pasans course and at: Using Our JSON data video he uses the mentioned statement to get the response content.
It seems that this is deprecated in the new version of Swift?
The documentation has the info on Objective-C use but nothing for Swift.
Am I missing something here?

NSString(contentsOfURL: NSURL, encoding: UInt, error: NSErrorPointer)
Your code should look like this
var urlContents = NSString(contentsOfURL: Location, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)

Now I know. Thanks
