I'd also recommend you supplement the CSS Foundations course with:

For reference use:

For practice do the CSS exercises on pairuptocode.com

If you after you've done all of that you want more CSS practice try and re-create these examples on codepen

He maybe just has used these websites in the past, remembers the names and thought that they would come in helpful for others

If you already know HTML then you can go straight into CSS Foundations. If not then you should start with HTML to begin with.

Both courses introduce you at a good speed and you can start using what you learn right away as you build up your knowledge.

If you haven't done any web projects before you may find Build a Simple Website a useful introduction. It covers the whole process of building and launching a site but doesn't go into great detail on HTML and CSS compared to the main courses.
