1You can't skip releases if you're updating through the Update Manager, boot the 12.04 ISO and upgrade. – Uri Herrera Feb 18 '13 at 07:51

Of course you can easily install 12.04 from scratch.
Mind you: 12.04.2 is out and I'd like to suggest that you download and install this version. It has all released updates inside the ISO + has a newer kernel (3.5) and X-server.
I wouldn't go for an upgrade since the changes are severe compared to 11.04.
Keep in mind with the required hardware specifications ! Having for about 1.5 Gb RAM-memory is certainly nessecary for a good work-flow (my own standards).
If you have less RAM I'd go for Xubuntu, what will run far better than Ubuntu (Unity).

Ok, you can't exactly skip OS's from the Update Manager. So you have to boot from a Ubuntu 12.04 ISO file (Via a CD, for example.).
These are the ways to install the ISO:
Live CD: Follow the steps!
USB installer Again, follow the steps!
Stand-Alone Installer: Install then follow the steps!
